For the rearend / tranny I fill with diesel fuel, run the tractor down the road for about a 1/4 mile or so and back, drain over night & refill with the recomended gear lube. I also drain the crankcase, fill with diesel, allow to idle for 5-10 minutes, frain over night & fill with oil. You'll be amassed at the crap that the diesel fuel will flush out.
