Rossler told me to use Traveler Premium 10-20W. I can get you the part number off the bottle if you would like. It comes in either 1 or 2 gal containers at Tractor Supply.. i forget which one it is.

Nah, in the blue 1 gallon jugs. 
When we got our trannies from Rossler way back... He told me just to run cheap dex 3. So there you go...
PSJ, I've been busy building cars and racing. You know, when you take your car to the track and make passes. LOL

If I remember right Rossler had told me he would run the tractor fluid simpily because its easier to tell when its starts to get burnt and it will hold up better to the heat. Its probably just personal preference as it seems everyone in here runs one or the other and has not had any problems.

Amsoil super shift. Never had a problem, held up in my Rossler th350 and my 400. Not to mention the abuse it gets in my truck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
John, I get all my stuff at dealer cost, you could have it for the same.
