SAE 90 in the GEARcase, not the crankcase. Most folks use
SAE30 or 10W30 in the crankcase. On a gas tractor I personally
would use 10W30 especially for the winter, unless you are really
going to work it hard, ie hours and hours of working land or
other max power situations.
As far as the cooling system, it seems like those radiators are
pretty rugged and flushing shouldn"t hurt, although they rarely
will come close to running warm, much less overheating, so
flushing may not be necessary.
I"d at least check the tranny/rear end oil to make sure that you
don"t have water in it. After the tractor has been sitting a while,
loosen the drain plug just enough to let out a little liquid (water
or oil), but be careful not to drop the plug, or you will be
draining the whole thing!
