A quote from Big Dean website: "On the older tractor before the 100 series it is recommend that you use the 80/90-weight mineral oil. Massey # M1103. There has been a lot of controversy on the tractor boards about this. Here are my thoughts on this. The Reg. gear oil will work but sooner or later you will probably have problems with using it. The paraffin in this oil will gum up the valves and filter & you will have to tear the pump down to clean it out. It will also build up on the sides of the gearboxes causing more problems later. I have seen this problem so many time though the years. These tractors can use the same oil that the newer tractors use if the hydraulics is in good shape. this oil is Perm-A-Tran 3 or the old number is M1129A. Some people use Perm-A-Tran 3 in the winter & switch to the M1103 in the summer. If the oil is still clean with no water in it you can save it & reuse it." The problem he talks about is if you used the 80-90 gear oil like you saw at Costco or from any oil company that is designed for auto/truck differentials. The Permatran type will do a great job, but notice he adds the caution "if the hydraulics is in good shape"; if things are worn you could have poor performance/leaks, especially in hot weather. You can still get the 80-90 mineral from Agco (pn MF841718M1) which they call M1103 oil.
