What type of fluid does the power steering in the m809 series trucks require?

Thank you everyone I kinda figured power steering fluid was the best but wasn't sure I also heard that the no. 10 fluid is basically aw32 hydo oil so that makes sense that would work as well

just bumping this up.. anyone have a preference on which one to run. looks like my 816 has red tran fluid in it. working on new 818 tractor and the pump has never had fluid in it.

Its up to you.... ATF or PS fluid. I run PS fluid. I use to run ATF in all of mine but the PS fluid seams to not foam as bad in the 5 ton steering.

I ran 10w syn. for awhile when it got COLD no power steering until fluid warmed up!!! No fun !!!!ATF works great !!!

I use about a 1/2 ATF AND 1/2 Gunk Power Steering Fluid blend in most anything I got . Havent gotten to changing the M817 ps fluid yet but thats what it will get. The Gunk stuff says it conditions seals and quiets the system. It isnt much more expensive then the ATF so WTF ya know? For cars with the front wheel drive rack and pinion systems, I just vac out what I can from the reservoir about every 3rd oil change and cap it off with Gunk psf. Havent had a rack fail me since I started doing this. If you have ever tried, you know how tough it is to fully change the psf with most of these systems.
