Gear boxes

Okay, on our B6000, directly under the seat is the dipstick to a gear box, what fluid goes in there? How many gear boxes are on this thing?

I expect that's the same as my B7100, which takes standard hydraulic oil in the main case. That provides the fluid for the main transmission, and the 3 point lift. May also be used for FEL, though some (like mine) have a separate reservoir and pump. If it's 4 wheel drive, it also has a separate reservoir there, but that uses (as far as I know) standard 80-90 hypoid gear oil just like an old pickup.

Like BadDog said: hydraulic oil (not fluid) for the gear case and gear lube for the front differential.

Tomcat,
Maybe it's different there, but here in the US hydraulic oil and Hydraulic fluid are the same thing.

Whitney,
You can download a WSM (workshop service manual), that is full of a bunch of useful information here:

When I worked at a trailer repair shop we called hydraulic fluid the red stuff in the trailer dump cylinders to differentiate from hydraulic oil used in gear boxes with hydraulics. Didn't intend to confuse things.
BTW Wolfman, that was in the US of A. I know the terms fluid and oil are interchangeable when referring to hydraulics.

We would call the red stuff Automatic Transmission Fluid.
