by "regular" I think he just means that it isn't a hydraulic/transmission lube, like what JD, IH, and MF run. If you don't have anything else, it shouldn't matter so much what fluid you use, but I'm thinking that ATF was a lighter fluid, so a lighter fluid like a AW32 would be my first choice. As far as tranny fluid, the replacement for "A" is the Dex/merc III fluid. Some say it's ok, other say stay away. That's what we've got in the over/under on our 1855 and ran in our 1600's hyrda-power without any ill effects, both originally had type "A". Only reason it's not in the 1600 anymore is that I had it gone through and it came back with hydraulic fluid in it.(assuming a type of hy-trans because of the application) We run 2 massey's and 2 Oliver's, but we buy our oil in bulk and just run MF's Permatran III in all. Has no ill effect in the Ollies, and if we were the type to get worked up about a little cross-contamination of different oils between tractors (which we're definately not) it wouldn't be a problem.
