Trans fluid

I need to change the transmission fluid in the diesel MF 65. Is there any good reason to not just use whatever tractor trans fluid TSC or some farm store has for cheap? There is a place near here that sells 90 weight oil like the manual says for $60 for 2 gallons.

Also, while it's empty, are there any filters that should be changed? I'm gonna guess there's a lot of sludge in there. I have to wiggle the loader's fluid intake hose every time I want to use it or the loader won't work.
 
From what I've seen of yours in pictures it should have a filter that can be accessed through the left hand side cover. This is the one with the PTO lever. If has a bunch of sludge you might want to try flushing it out with some diesel fuel. As for oil I just run the cheap 303 oil from TSC in mine.
