Case 530 triple range gear oil & hydraulic fluid

I’m hoping someone can tell me what and where for fluids for these.
The existing fluids that are in these looks like gear oil in the triple range gear box and main transmission and hydraulic fluid in the hydraulic hoses.
Is this correct? If it is then where do I fill the hydraulic system?

Many thanks! Trav

Tractor is a 1963 Utility tractor with a dry main clutch and wet secondary clutch.
 
The torque tube (hydraulic reservoir) and triple range gears are sharing the same oil. The fill and oil level check is on the left side of the transmission next to the hand clutch lever. The pipe coming up out and forward from that area with a two inch cover is a vent and can be screwed off at mid way for easier filling with a small funnel. The rear differential an transmission check/add oil plug is in front of the seat, left side of the depressed area,
It is good practice to add some gear oil to both areas as both are lubricating gears and helps quiet those noisy worn parts, a quart or two to the torque tube and a gallon or two to the rear differential. As RJKeith said, use Hi-Tran or equivalent as the main oil, I get mine at a farm store.

Good advice for the Torque Tube, but the 4sp gearbox and differential is straight 85W140 Gear Oil.
 
I switched all mine over to use trans/hyd oil in the rear end as well as all other areas but engine oil,, did that 35 years go,, started doing it in my 580CK as then I cleaned over a dozen lots in the winter, 80-90wt is THICK when its -40F over 5000 hrs on just the 580 since
 
Wow! Thank you so very much you guys! I took your advice to heart and filled all of the housings to the dipstick levels.
I now have a strong running 63’ model 530!
Thanks again!
