I have been advised to use "10 weight" motor oil in my 1950 John Deere A "powrtrol"..... may be hard to find. Is this right ?

The OM says 30W. If you use it in the winter use 10W-30.

There was no such thing as "Hygard" or "hydraulic fluid" when the A was new, so they used what was available.
You can still use 30 weight engine oil if you want but if you are sharing hydraulic implements with other tractors, you probably should use Hygard, or whatever you use in the other tractors.
