Kabota trans oil, what can I get away with? Ford F transmission fluid, Delco II, or?

The major hint here is he says it is in post #3 "It's an automatic shuttle type of trans".

With having a shuttle shift with wet clutches it will require UDT if not Super UDT or UDT2. Already saying it is sluggish, will probably get worse with ATF.

No need to question here, just sit back and get popcorn while the clutches rip apart.

You can have a gear type shuttle shift, it let's you choose the gear from the shifter on the floor and fwd/reverse from the shuttle on the console.
You have to press the clutch pedal to change gears or directions.
I grew up with a Massey Industrial 35 that was setup that way.

Do you want your tractor to continue to operate properly or you want to ruin it? If you want it to operate properly put an approved fluid in it. If you want to ruin it put some automatic transmission fluid in it. Or you could just urinate in it. Or any water would be fine if you don't have to pee. About anything will work if you don't really care about that tractor.

Yes Sir, tried to save money years ago buying TSC fluid, blame thing screamed like a banshee, forked over the bucks for JD fluid & all was good.
I'd drive 100 miles for the price of a tractor.

Have friend with a Ford model? from early 90s, it is gear but has hydraulic shuttle forward reverse. The Kubota GST is gear drive but hydraulic shifting forks and forward reverse clutches.

Not enough $$$ to do it right there is enough time and $$$ to patch up ruined equipment. I never understood how some people can be so proud of cutting corners and operating at bare minimum ?

Looking closer at the parts breakdown, this one appears to be a manual shifted transmission with hydraulic fwd/rev wet clutches to choose the direction.
Any quality UTF should be adequate for it as pretty much all manufacturers have used wet clutches since then.

He can probably top-up with UTF from local autoparts stores which claim JT-20 spec and might even meet some aspects of that. Then get filters and correct fluid to change it out when he can afford to travel and pay.

Just about any UTF is better than empty.
