1965 Timber Ex Lobster Boat
We purchased a 1965 50 ft Ex Lobster Boat Timber out of Tasmania.

Run a 671 Detroit.

Need a Idea on Oil Grade for the Hydraulic System which runs the Anchor and the Pot Hauler. The Pump runs off a pulley from the motor with a 60 Liter Approx tank but we not sure on oil grade.

Any Help
 
An ISO 46 hydraulic oil should also fill the bill. It is very common in industrial hydraulic applications.

THere should be a plate on the actual pump with the mfgr. name, model # , maybe serial.
Contact them, google
 
There are specific Hyd oils , but most pot haulers I have seen simply used ATF .
