I am 99.9% sure it's just hydraulic oil. User JD110 knows a lot more than me about these so hopefully he will see this shortly.

 

I came to the conclusion that there is no brake fluid resevoir and the hoses going to the brake stuff are tied into the rest of the hydraulic system. I suspect you will come to the same conclusion if you follow what moves when you press the brake pedal. No worries about stale brake fluid. I guess it has advantages over a mechanical (rods, pivots etc) but on mine there is no lock for the brakes which firmly seems to locate the tractor for implement hook up where the park feature is more vague.

All your hydraulics including the brakes use the same fluid. One fill point. Trans/hydraulic fluid. The transmission case is the reservior.

 

Brakes use oil from the transmission , but you will need to bleed the brakes if brake line was broken to get the air out. Just run the engine and the return oil from the steering keeps the master cylinder full while bleeding.

 

Thanks much...all fixed up.
