You need a little over 7 gallons, so buy 2-5 gallon buckets. Check the label to make sure it meets Ford spec M2C134D spec. TSC Traveller brand does. Rural King has a version also. UTF is not the same as "hydraulic" fluid.
The dipstick only measures the oil in the center section, which is the hydraulic sump. There are markings on both sides to measure the oil level in the front pedestal on a row crop tractor. Use the side marked for hydraulics.
There is a pipe plug on the rear about at the level of the PTO to check the fill level. If you are at the rear of the tractor looking forward it is on the left side of the rear end. It has a square head.
The trans level plug is on the right side of the tractor (when facing forward) just above the running board. This plug has a hex head on it. It is near the rear of the trans. Do not loosen any bolts on the trans, you will be able to tell it is a plug upon close inspection.
The fill plugs for each section are big hex headed caps. One on the trans, one just under the seat and one on top the rear.
You didn't say what transmission you had. What I described is for a manual transmission, NOT a Select-O-Speed.
Picking up an owners manual for this site or others would be well worth your money also.

Today's Featured Article - Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
