I used a web site called fluid finder.com and put in my model number and it came back with Traveller Universal Tractor Trans/Hydraulic Fluid, Granted This appears to be sponsored by TSC.
What are your suggestions? Not like this is going to be a heavily used tractor. I do have JD Hy-guard around from my JD's but I did read somewhere that HY-Tran and Hy-Guard had different characteristics.

Hygard, hytrans, or gear lube will be fine, I run a 80w90 in my 108 and haven't had any issues.
