The M owners manual states 30W above 32 F, 20W 32F to 10F, and 10W below 10F. A lot of folks on this forum like 15W-40 so you will have to decide what to use. I use 30W year around but don't really use my M in real cold weather. I do get it out and run it for an hour or so a few times during the winter but pick warmer days. The oil bath air cleaner should also have the same weight as in the engine block.
SAE 90 is what the manuals states for the differential and transmission case. Takes 13 gallons. Fill to the level plug on the left side.
I would flush the radiator and see what if any problems you have and get them taken care of during the off season. Don't want to find a plugged radiator when using the tractor in warmer weather. Drain block as well and get some new clean anti-freeze in the system. Cooling system will take 6 gals.
Hope this helps. Hal
