The manual says the power steering reservoir is filled with Ford Oil M2C-92-A or SAE 10W. This manual being 40+/- years old, I'm not sure how that translates to current oil. But it's a place to start, right? I usually call my local New Holland dealer and they translate for me.

Side note: You can pick up a decent manual on ebay for about eight bucks.

I'd replace it with a synthetic power steering fluid. Have done this on all my vehicles over time.

New Holland 134 hydraulic oil, or an oil meeting the current 134 spec. Same oil you want to use in the transmission and rear axle/hydraulic reservoir. Motor oil, 134 and antifreeze are the three fluids you need for your 3000.

I know guys that have a leaky pump that run atf for $$ reasons. it certaintly won't kill it.
