I'm sorry, I just don't buy that regular hydraulic oil will cause problems like that. Gears and bearings only care if the fluid is wet and slippery. Last I checked hydraulic oil was just as wet and slippery as any other oil of the same viscosity.
The additives are there to preserve the oil so it lasts longer. Gears and bearings cannot possibly detect these additives, and don't care if they are there. As long as the oil isn't too thin or too thick, and is really OIL, it will lubricate the gears just as well as Hytran.
The oil part of the oil does the lubricating. It's called hydraulic OIL, not hydraulic panther urine, or hydraulic turpentine.
Your employer's 1066 has transmission problems, plain and simple. Changing the oil now, even on the off chance that it did cause any damage (it did NOT), is a waste of time and money. It's too late. Damage is done. Tractors do not magically "heal" by using a magic fluid.
