The fluid that I got with it was NAPA brand and it has a forklift on the front. Not sure what type fluid it is i'll check tomorrow. The fluid was low but I fill it to where it showed be on the dipstick.

Not sure if it needs to be running when I check the fluid or off. Like in a car.

Also what type of gauge do I need? Can I build one from parts from tractor supply?

What about stuck brakes? It did sit outside where I bought it from.

Thanks!
