[AT] IH 350 update

[Cecil Bearden]

back then fast hitch fluid was just type A hydraulic fluid.  The AW 
hydraulic oil should work fine.  I just bought a barrel of ATF dexron 3 
today.  $430.10 !!!!  And going up.  IF you will need any this winter or 
next spring, better stock up.  I was looking for some methanol for 
tractor tires, and it is somewhere between $3.25 and $4.25 per gallon.
