As far as I know, those numbers are just old Ford spec numbers. In plain english, you would use NH 134 Ambra G for the trans/rear/hydraulic as well as the power steering. There are many other brands of hytran oil out there, often called Universal tractor fluid. Look at the label, and it should say that it meets Ford spec... Deere spec. yada yada... It may not list the specific number you have. Just make sure it is approved for hyd and transmission use. You could also use automotive power steering fluid in the power steering, but the hytran is quite accetable, and it is easier than stocking two different oils. It's a personal preference. As far as engine oil goes, use an up to date approved diesel engine oil that has an API CI-4 rating. Use an appropriate weight for your ambient temperature range. 10W30 is generally good for winter use, and 15W40 for summer use. Even if your tractor has a gas engine, you should still use the diesel engine oil, as the diesel engine oil will provide a better level of protection than an automotive engine oil. Rotella and Delvac are common brands kicked around this board. Esso XD3 is another example. That should get you going. If not, post back.
