I use Mobil 80W-140 SHC synthetic in all of mine, but plain old 80W-90 will be just fine.

sounds like you have some projects. ifound my book this morning,the trans and diff will take 6 1/2 qts. the finals will take 7/8 qt each. my first crawler was an mc with a gaermatic blade it was limited in use and well broke in,so i sold it and went to find a 420 5 roller with a #90 loader and now have one. it is much more handy for me, i use it as a skidloader,more load capacity and more stable. nick

Depends on the brand of clutch, but normally you pull the top 4 bolt plate off of the clutch, and there is a way to adjust it in there, been too many years since I did it.
