Hi All, I'm new so go easy.

I have a 1953 Ferguson TEA model, I'm seeking info or a lube chart for the engine, trans, PTO and diff and all. Cant find any oil specs ie oil type and SAE weight required.

Im in Australia , we have the usual oil company suspects, Mobil, Castrol, Valvoline, Shell, and store brands. Would greatly appreciate some lube specs if available.
 
It would have originally had straight 30 weight in the engine, 20, or 10 in extreme cold climates.

The transmission, differential (all a common oil fill) was 90 weight GL1 mineral oil. Not hypoid or EP lube.

You can still get 90w mineral oil, but it will slow the hydraulics down in cold weather. To simplify everything , what most do is run 15w 40 diesel oil in everything.

The steering gear also used 90 weight oil, but few will hold it due to leaky seals. A common substitute is to pump in grade 0 or 00 grease, aka "corn head" grease. It is thin enough to not channel away from gears, but thick enough to stay in with less than perfect seals.

That pretty much covers it.
 

Thanks Steve and Carlmac, I thought 90 weight mineral would have been there somewhere, but yes, it looks like the Farmer here uses 15w/40 for anything that wants an oil top up.

As a youngster I remember most farms used Rimula X diesel oil for most applications although was good for petrol engines too. Very high detergent but excellent lube properties.
