Some of the rich guys use caseih hytran. I use the 303 hytran sold by orscheln in the yellow buckets. When on sale, it is about $23 and regularly around 30. When you look at the specs, it meets ih, jd and other standards. TSC never has their hytran very cheap. Walmart carries it to in supertech with the same specs but not as cheap as Orscheln on sale and I think more than 30.
You for sure want to pull the plugs under the tranny and the rear end to get rid of any water and sludge. Its near impossible to keep fluid from being milky unless you are plowing all day with it to heat the oil enough to get rid of the water. The other problem is that the rockshaft housing under the seat probably has a couple gallons and a bunch of sludge in the bottom of it. Between that and the fluid in the system, you never get it perfectly clean. Most just live with the milky fluid unless it has so much water that it has a pukey slick greasy feel to it. Ih dealer told me it takes 2 or 3 changes to clean it up anyway.
To burp the water out, leave the fill and check plugs tight. When you remove the bottom plugs one at a time it will dump a quart or two and stop for a split second to allow air to get by, then you can stick the plug back in when you just have oil coming out.
When you pull the cover off the filter, it may dump a pint or two there.
I use Wix hyd and oil filters from Oreillys who usually stock them or can get them in one day and they are cheaper. I think IH's are made by wix anyway as they look the same.
If your fluid is just tan colored, I'm not sure I'd mess with changing it all right now. Winter is the worst time for condensation in the tranny and rear end to just add more water anyway. That and melted ice and snow and then rain that gets in around the gear shifter unless you keep it covered as well. I'd just make sure there is no water in the bottom and the filter and then wait till summer.
As you may notice from reading the threads around here, everybody has trouble with their hydraulics until the fluid warms up. Mine has taken from 15 to 30 minutes to warm up enough to quit whining. Cleaning my filter screen stops the surging if that gets bad.
I owned a 460 once and never changed it. It leaked so bad all I did was keep adding to it.

Today's Featured Article - Pitfalls of Tractor Engine Rebuilds - by Chris Pratt. The first pop after you have put the machine together with your own hands is exciting and pleasing. The whole experience can be marred if one moves too fast and makes too many assumptions that they can just use "as is" some parts they should be closely scrutinizing and possibly attended to. In such cases, rework makes what could have been a fun project turn into an irritant or even a nightmare. Minor Irritants To give you an example of an minor but irritating proble
