very common for a tractor of that age. and no problem to run it.
I would stay with the hd 15w40 so that the engine will not wear more.
You 15w40 runs very very near a 30 to 40wt oil at high temperatures anyway. It also runs very near a 15wt oil when very cold till it warms up... so you will not see much improvement with a 40wt... and NO improvement with a 30wt.
If needed,, add some lucus oil stabilizer to the oil to help with worn parts to give it some addition life, and a bit more oil pressure.
Also remember that oil gauge may not be reading correctly, especially if its a china replacement.
25 lbs, working is satisfactory for that engine. 5 lbs is ok at low idle.
