Tractor Service Questions

1974 Ford 2000 Diesel 8 speed power steering.

Fairly simple questions but since the tractor is at the farm 30 miles away and it is about 30 miles back to a decent auto parts store...and I just
bought it.

I know this is assuming they don't rip, tear, etc. when these are removed as there is always a chance.

1) Is the oil pan drain plug gasket reusable?

2) Do I need a new gasket for the fill plug on top of the rear axle?

3) Are there any gaskets for the drain plugs on the rear or on the tranny?

I need to take some with me if so.

Was planning on a refill of Traveller UTF from Tractor Supply.

Since this tractor is new to me and I have no idea when it was last serviced, she is gonna get drained and filled with new fluids this weekend
hopefully. Oil looks dirty and previous owner apparently didn't know what a grease gun was.

Thanks
 
The oil pan drain plug on that tractor should have a metal washers that is reusable even though it is called a "Gasket" in the parts drawings.

Both the transmission and the rear end/hydraulic sump drain plugs should have no gasket or washer of any kind.

The fill plug for the rear end also has a metal washer that is reusable.

The Traveller's Premium UTF is what I use in my '73 4000. Don't go with the "303" fluid, as it doesn't meet the 134D spec.

Good luck with your new tractor.
 
One additional question if I drain the rear and refill do I need to bleed the pump.

If so... Process is to pull the stop out and crank till it flows clean I assume
