The final drive gears should have a heavy gear oil and the hydraulic is the same as a tire tractor.( 303 I think )
JD 350B diesel 6way blade, Case 580B Loader/backhoe, Farmall 504 high crop w/ flail boom mower, International 404 , International 284 diesel w/belly mower, 1972 Ford F600 dump truck, Galion 3-5 roller, Allis Chalmers D17, 1620 Ford
IF you use 303 in the hyd, you will get more squeal, and lose some pressure, but won't hurt anything. A straight weight hyd oil is better in these old girls.

Some do, but still okay to run GL5.
As an aside, I have some anecdotal evidence in a factory service bulletin that they were putting 303 in some from the factory. I have always wanted to try it, just haven't had the balls. 350 runs 303 in everything, so I can't see why it would hurt.
I personally run 75W-90 Mobil SHC synthetic gear lube.
