Let's see... To get the final drive lube out, I think you have to take off the pan on the bottom of the final drives (near each wheel), then fill to the level of the plug. For the transmission, there is a drain plug in the bottom of the transmission on the lower right hand side of the diferential case. I would recommend a good rinse with kerosene before refilling (to get rid of sludge and wash out any dirt or debris) to the oil level plug. If you are going to restore the tractor, might as well take the transmission top cover off when you do this rinse, as it will give you an opportunity to check the condition of the shifter forks, gears, etc. Operators manual says use SAE 90 from 20-50 degrees and SAE 140 or 160 from 50-90 degrees. If you aren't planning on heavy use, SAE 90 should be fine for all temps. BTW, there is also a plug in the top of the PTO drive, and you might want to add the first quart of transmission lube through that hole, to make sure the PTO isn't dry when you first start it up.
