I'm sure this has been discussed before, but I can't find the threads. My manual says the recommended gb/re/hydro oil is SAE 90, but the pinned topics above say that Ford recommends SAE 30. Since the oil in my newly-acquired 1962 Fordson Super Major is milky, I thought it should be replaced rather than topped off. I'm running SAE 30 in my 1960 Dexta. Thanks.

The original spec was SAE 90, but this was changed when universal oils came in in July 1959 to SAE 30HD. I think SAE 90 is better, but as you have a Super Major, I 'm not going to recommend it as much as I would for a pre 1959 Major.

Hello do you recommend a brand? As I have a 1957 major. The engine has been completely rebuilt.

I personally can't recommend a brand, but I know lots of people on FTP use Morris AG oil and think it's very good.
