I have a 1957 Ford 860 with the piston-type hydraulic pump.
I've put the standard New Holland Multi G134 hydraulic fluid in.
In these cold winter temperatures (sometimes down to -5 or -10F), the
hydraulic lift is very slow until it warms up, maybe 1/2 hour or 45 min.
of operation.
Can I safely thin the hydraulic fluid, using kerosene or something
similar, to quicken the warm up period a bit?
IS there a better fluid that will be good for cold temps as well as
summer temps (summer is usually < 90F).
Thanks for any help.
