[Farmall] Oil recommendation

[farmallgray at aol.com]

I would run straight 30 (SAE 30) unless you are going to use it below 32 degrees. 
If the engine has been recently rebuilt, I would use high detergent. If it hasn't
been rebuilt and you don't know what has been run in it, I would go with non detergent.

This is my recommendation for any old piece of gasoline fueled equipment built before about 1970 or so.

You are probably about to get a whole bunch of replies, giving everyone's 
favorite brand and bottle color.  Go with 10W30 of whatever your own 
favorite brand is.  Any of them will be better than oil from 1953.  Don't 
bother adding any snake oil to it.  Somebody will probably tell you you need 
a zinc additive.  You don't.
