I have a 1010 crawler and want to change some of the fluids.In my owners manual that I recieved with the crawler the previous owner wrote hydraul 56 by the lubrication chart.This would be for the final drives,transmission,and reverser.
Is this correct putting these fluids in or should I be changing it to something different.The book says to use SAE 80 multi purpose lubricant.
Thanks,Mark

Reverser is Hy-Gard or equivalent, trans and finals are gear lube. I hope he has not been running gear lube in the reverser.

The manual says use 80w for the transmission and finals.Would it be okay to use something like 75-90w in these.
The manual also says to flush the transmission out with diesel fuel,drain and then add your fluid.Is this the right process and is it necessary?

75-90 is fine. I always flush the trans if I do not know any history on the crawler.
