I ve recently acquired a 1962 ACD17 series 2 tractor and seem to be getting conflicting info on what type of oil to use in the hydraulic system. A local farmer suggested I used 20wt non detergent oil and the farm supply suggested I used universal hydraulic oil I m confused now
- Thread starter Gunner951
- Start date

The reason is states 20W is its what they
had 60 years ago, if it was being built
today it would tell you to use universal
trans/hydraulic. You can use non-det 20W
if you can find it. If not use universal
trans hydraulic and be happy. Do not use
detergent 20W motor oil and its not due to
the often repeated foaming fallacy.
Detergent oil does not foam. You do not
want detergent oil because you have no
filtration and you want dirt to settle
out, not circulate.
