[QUOTE="GlennsM444, post: 76909, member: 9676"] I've been running ATF in my 444 for about a year and no issues. My manual calls for it and ours are pretty much the same machines. Sometimes you can find it on Craigslist for cheap in bulk. As for the tires, I agree with the previous post, keeping everything uniform will decrease the tension in the chainbox and save you heartache down the road. I have 15 inch pick up truck tires on my skid. Pop a tire? Go to the junkyard and get another for 20 bucks. Its a no brainer. On these very old belt driven skids I personally don't think it makes a difference what tires you've got on there unless you're running a 600 or newer with a Wisconsin engine (in which case you've actually got the power to dig into something other than gravel.)
