[AT] Massey hyd oil.

[Ralph Goff]

Cecil, I don't have the operators manual for my Super 90 but a shop/repair 
manual that I do have states that type A automatic transmission fluid should 
be used in the transmission/hydraulics.
This one has the same power steering pump you mention and it also controls 
the pto engagement. So low pressure on this pump will also cause slipping 
pto disks. I only use it on light pto loads for that reason.
Perkins diesel on this one starts great on only a single 12 volt battery
