Do you have napa's, or other car parts stores in your area? Napa carries universal transdraulic fluid or torque fluid 56 (fina), which is cheap and works.... might even be jd303 spec. Farm supply stores usually carry that in bulk as well. Our mechanic here at the construcion company I work for uses a 10wt oil toi flush the tranny or hydraulics. ( Heck.. some of our older cat and JD heavy equipment use 10wt oild for the hydraulics , and some use sae 30 for the transmission... makes you wonder ).
As for the hyguard fluid from JD.. that 28 bucks is about what they charge here in central florida as well.... we just did the hydraulic servic our 2240.. held 8 gallos or so.

<font color=blue>"I'm not sure about your parts of the country, but out here in Southern Cal, Walmarts don't carry hydraulic fluid. I live in a predominately metropolitan area. The only place I have found it is at tractor dealers and the going price appears to be in the range of $28 for a five gal pail. I guess I'll just have to bite the bullet and spend a few bucks on fluid."
