I'm trying to reason out what fluids are used where. Based on the dipsticks/filler locations and such that I know of, I'm assuming:
Obviously, there's engine oil. I have checked and filled that as needed. I use engine oil here. Heavy for summer, thinner for winter, no problem.
There is a resevoir of hydraulic fluid (which I check and fill with the dipstick just behind the seat) that runs the remotes and the steering. I use hydraulic fluid here. I also believe that this revervoir operates the hydraulic brake assist; because pushing the brakes can affect the operation of other hydraulics (bucket).
There is a filler location just above the pto (about waist high) that somebody capped off with half of a beer can held by a hose clamp (no lie...really). I assume that's for gear oil for the final drives to the axles and the pto and such. I haven't added anything here; but I assume it would be gear oil.
Then there is the transmission, which is a hydraulic shift and has this over/under unit. For this, I now see the dipstick near the clutch pedal. Is this the only reservoir of fluid for both the transmission and the over/under? Some references recommend automatic transmission fluid here. Is that correct?

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.
