Keep it simple. Use hydraulic fluid like you probably have a barrel of for the other tractors.

ATF is you are confident that your seals don't leak.  If not, hydraulic oil will work but is thicker, so ATF works better in cold weather.

I run ATF in both of my power steering models.

UTF, Hydraulic oil, or Trans fluid.. as long as it is Type F, A or the old Dextron 1 or 2.

I would not use the "NEW" MERCON LV or Dextron V or similar that is HIGH in cleaning addatives.... that could effect seals as DSeries said.
Like them all, but love the "B"s.

A short history lesson on oils A-C has used: A 1948 model WD used 10W or 20W (temperature sensitive) non-foaming/non-detergent oil in the hydraulic sump. A 1953 WD-45 was the same requirement. A 1957 D-17 stayed with this same oil type in the hydraulic and power steering. The Power Director clutch at this time used 80/90 wt gear oil. Sometime after 1957 the Power Director clutch began to also use a 20W non-detergent oil, same as the hydraulic sump. 1964 was the introduction of the Series 4 D-17. It now had Dexron "Type A" oil in the Power Director clutch/hydraulic system (all one compartment now) and the same type "A" oil in the power steering. Three years later, in 1967 the One-Seventy also stayed with type "A" oil, which by now had been branded Allis-Chalmers 322 Power Fluid and 80/90 in the transmission/differential. By 1969, the oil recomendation now became Power Fluid 821 everywhere (10W30) thus replacing type"A' fluid and 80/90 gear oil. Remember, 821 became 821XL and then, PermaTran. Today's oil is used completely thru the transmission, final drives and hydraulic system on 600+ HP AGCO tractors. There is no manufacturer that goes back and re-writes the owners manual of tractors 10 or 20 or even 60 years old. We just have to figure out what works. 821XL/PermaTran keeps it simple !! One oil serves everything winter and summer !!

What would your local source of oil say if you walked in an asked for 10-30 non detergent today. I had a run in with the local Exon distributor back in the early 80's asking for a barrel of it.  I thing I had to show them the operators manual, for the Orchard Machinery Corporation nut shaker. Not a complex hydraulic system by todays standards. A Vickers vane pump 3 cylinders for clamp movement and the for the one for clamping the limb, and 1 motor to do the shaking. And to bring it back to AC mounted on the U frame of a Garwood dozer on a HD 9 crawler.

Dr. Allis' short lesson on oils should be added to the knowledge section if it isn't already.
