There is no logical reason what so ever to use non-detergent oil in any thing. The oils we have now days are by far better then what there was when these tractor where made. I run 20W-50 oil in almost every thing I own and I have around 30 tractors

Use detergent oil but check the dipstick after a short amount of running. The detergent will clean up the engine and deposit any material it loosened into the oil. If the oil is very dark, change the oil and filter again as you now have a much cleaner engine.

Use a good 10W30
detergent oil
It will run just fine

15w40 diesel oil.

The diesel oil is more closely matched to the old flat tappet engines than modern gas engine oil.
