Anyone see a problem with using the above oil in a Deere utility tractor? It does not have an clutch packs, just gears and cylinders.

Cat TDTO should be fine as long as the viscosity is close enough. I always thought it was rather pricey, but if you have some I wouldn't be afraid to use it. Even if you had clutch packs, TDTO is made for the powershifts in Cats stuff.

Here is Caterpillars info on it:

Cat® TDTO™
Recommended Use
Preferred lubricant for Cat power shift transmissions, and most final drives and
wet brake compartments.
Cat machine compartments where TO-4 and TO-4M specification oils are
recommended.
Other manufacturers’ machines that recommend TO-4 or TO-4M or specification
oils for their transmissions, final drives and wet brake
compartments.
Discover the Difference
Cat TDTO is developed, tested and approved by Caterpillar to meet the same
high standards as all Genuine Cat Parts.
Factory-Fill — Used as standard factory-fill for Cat machine compartments
where TO-4 oils are specified.
Longer Clutch Life — Prolongs clutch disc life up to 45%.
Optimum Wear Life — Ensures long life and excellent performance for gears,
bearings and friction disc material.
System-Matched Formula — Engineered as an integral part of Cat power shift
transmissions, most wet brake compartments, and Hydrostatic Systems.
