Does anyone know where I can purchase a heavier wt. hydraulic oil ie. 30-50 wt. without buying 5 gal. I only need a couple of quarts.
Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

Welcome aboard hope to hear from you more. I'm sorry but i don't know where you can get hydraulic oil in smaller container . Look in farm stores you might get it in gallon jugs i don't think you will find it in quarts most farm equipment uses so much oil in there reservoirs ,that's why they sell sell it in 5 gallons container. Maybe a lawn mower dealer in your area, sell you bulk out of there barrel if you bring your own container in with you .
Check with your local ag or construction equipment dealers/repair shops, they generally work from 55 gal drums in the shop and can sell you what you need. Take a clean container with you.

Tractor supply sells 2 gallon containers, not sure if it's 30-50. It has a iso viscosity #. What do you need 2 qts for?

I have a tractor supply Huskie lawn tractor, hydrostatic drive, after long usage the pump gets hot and the tractor keeps getting slower until I stop and let the fan cool it down. I thought maybe a heavier wt. oil might improve the situation.
Thanks for the response

Excel Hustler has been using Mobil1 synthetic 15w50 engine oil in almost all of their hydro drives for some time now...
Synthetic oil will stand heat much better than mineral oil... Check the compatibility and I think you will really like Mobil1 in your hydraulic system... :smile:KennyV
Not sure about buying quarts of this type of hydraulic oil, but I've bought the same exact thing in one gallon sizes at Home Depot. It's a bit more than a couple of quarts, but better than having to purchase five gallons.
