Ron, I agree with Paul f on the manuals if you are doing a restoration. The service manual provides most of the information for overhaul. The parts manual has exploded views of assemblies for identification and of parts within. The operator's manual is basic not much use if service manual is avail. Manuals are by tractor series, not by year. Any Va series manual after 1951 will cover your tractor. The later the manual the better, especially parts manuals.Engine oil: SAE 10 to 30 depending on ambient. I use 30 wt year around. Many people use 10-30.4 qts. 5 qts if you have the optional filter. Air cleaner cup: same as engine crankcase. Steering (bolster): SAE 140 (if oil lubricated),fill to top of worm gear. I use 85-140. If grease fitting keep sufficient grease in the housing to cover gears. Torque tube: SAE 10 or 20 motor oil depending on ambient. I use general pupose tractor hydraulic fluid. Capacity 8 qts, fill to lip of opening for the fill plug. Transmission: SAE 90. I use 80-90. Capacity 28 qts. Fill to full mark on dipstick. The t-stat is located in the cylinder head water outlet hose just above the elbow. Joe
