Default Hy-tran advice

I have a 1968 cub 104 with the 3 speed manual transmission. I would like to replace the rear end fluid with hy-tran and have a few questions:

1) Which hy- tran is correct to use in my 104? I have seen hy-tran ultra and hy tran plus advertised.

2) Is there any risk that hy tran ultra or hy tran plus could damage the rear end gears or seals? I have read that some modern lubrucants have additives such as zinc or detergents that can harm some softer metals or seals. I would imagine that today's hy tran ultra or plus is different than the original 1968 hy tran that came stock in my tractor, and I don't want to to use anything that could damage the rear end.

Thanksnfor your help and advice.
