ATF is the way to go, cannot say that PS fluid causes problems but just like anything mixing fluid types is usually not a good idea so a good flush with the new fluid is a must. I like many others use and recommend DEX III over DEX VI but many do use DEX VI, kinda a Mary Ann VS Ginger thing...

I am curious, maybe someone can comment on if the frame mounting holes are the same, if so there is really no need unless you are truly armored (read heavy) to have the Shepard steering gear, tons of Saginaw boxes out there

I would try and drag it as far as I could, could you move it a couple hundred yards? probably but why tempt the fates. Curious what fluid if any you put in the PS? Also never hold the steering at lock one way or the other that does spike the pressure and heat.

Here is a handy flow schematic, just take the winch out, the pressure hose goes straight from the hydro-boost to the steering gear.

Well you gota figure out where the fluid is going, could be any number of things, hopefully just a hose :)

You could possibly drive without power assist but you do not want to, no power brakes ether and you will damage the pump if run without fluid.
