Just bought a really nice A (1940) yesterday. I looked at quite a few machines and finally found one in good condition that fit my budget. I"ve never owned a Farmall, or an older tractor for that matter, so forgive me if I"m sounding a little naive. I just want to get my new tractor off to the right start. I plan on using my tractor for lighter duties such as towing trailers, hay wagons, etc, and just taking it for rides around my property.

Any other fluids or items of maintenance I should address?
Do I need to add lead substitute to the gas? If so, why?
