Just to chime back in, do you know what make of transmission is in your 1965 855? I thought Wheel Horse used Sundstrand back then for their hydro's. Later models used Eaton HST's - my 1993 520H calls for 10W-30 weight while the older Sundstrand calls for automatic transmission fluid per the manual.

Just found this at the link I posted. A little confusing, but I think it has the answer you're looking for.

Just looked in my owners manual and it says SAE 140 API Service GL-5. for the gear oil.

Guess maybe I'll change mine.
