I ordered a gasket for the differential cover. I think I'll wait till that arrives and clean it all out at once.
The fluid that is leaking out has the viscosity of ATF, not 30 weight. Possible the owner was just using ATF? Hope that didn't cause any damage.

No,
it would not cause a problem.
If you look up sunstrand manual ( makers of that hydro) they recommend
ATF type "F" as one of their acceptable fluids.
Of course if it is in a cub, they recommend their snake oil as well as Deere recommends their snake oil, Massy, Gravley etc etc.
Hytran is good no doubt, but others will serve just as well.
Use what makes you happy.
Now on big Ag tractors best to stick with acceptable recommendations as wet clutches/brakes linings can be adversely affected and very costly to replace.
