Well i searched the forum and found this a much debated topic.

I have a 165 Massey. The I&T shop manual calls for Type A transmission fluid. But several folks are saying to use Permatran III. Would either one of these be any better or worse than the other or can i go with the cheapest? The 165 is a 1966 model, what about all those years of using ATF before permatran III came out??

I checked with the M-F dealer here and also asked Big Dean about what oil was the correct one to use. Both, Big Dean and the M-F dealer, said to use Permatran III, not the ATF fluid. Big Dean said they received a service bulletin in 1978 to not use the ATF anymore and to go to the Permatran, which had a different name back then, as the seals and O-rings would last much longer. Big Dean's web site will tell you about this issue for power steering oil in these tractors. Hope this helps.
