Your tractor is a 1963 Fordson New Performance Super Major that was sold in the US as a Ford 5000.
Oil in the rear axle and gearbox is 20/30W Multigrade or 20W or 30W. The oil was changed from 90w in a Ford service letter in 1957. 90W gear oil will slow down the hydraulics as it cannot pass through the small porting in the lift cylinder.
You have double acting draft control, works in tension as well as compression on the top link, position control and disc brakes. The Power Major had none of these things.
You have a Minimec pump which needs engine oil in the governor housing to lubricate the governor mechanism. This should be changed every time you change the engine oil. Do not worry if you find it diluted with diesel, this is OK and is allowed to happen.
These were the last tractors in the Major line which stretched back to 1952. They were built like a tank and many are still working over here in England on small farms.
