Yanmar FX17 2WD

FX17 Yanmar with powershift transmission.
I am stuck in a barn in the middle of France (Europe) trying to locate the correct oil for the powershift gearbox. So far Auto transmission fluid and ISO 46 hydraulic oil has been suggested. I should hate to use the wrong type and the local French tractor dealers are not interested once you mention Yanmar!
Any advice? Please

jack oil, plain hydraulic fluid and iso 32/46/64 are deffinately out.

My old yanmar used a JD303 compatible generic UTF type fluid.. Also called tractor transdraulic fluid.. etc would probably be a safe bet. I'm sure it would move on jack oil.. and would move on ATF... but if i had to guess... I'd opt for UTF since it is spec'd for final drives, trannies, hyds.. power steering.. wet brakes.. etc.

Thanks for your advice. The French JD is not the same as in the US but I have now found a filter and the oil. All I need now is a service manual...any ideas?
