1973 110 JD Variable drive troubles how to get at

Hey gang,
I bought a 8 h.p., 4spd, 1973 110 JD not too long ago and i have some questions
1. When mowing or driving and already moving with the clutch relaeased I will have the variator lever pulled to the rear. I begin to move it forward and the mower will SLOWLY pick up the speed (acts like weak spring pressure). AT times also it will be about midway and the tractor will start up a little hill and then stop moving. If the lever is moved forward slightly more it takes off like a shot! How do you adjust it? In addition, if the clutch is pushed down quickly sometimes it sounds as if a pully is rubbing the underside of the floor. What could that be? Does anyone have a copy of the manual talking about its adjustment they could email me or send me?
2.) how hard is it to take off the fenders/floorboard (one piece) on this tractor. Are the peddles hard to get off?
3.) what wieight of oil is used in the transaxle and how much to fill it? Also, what about the motor, oil weight and ammount.

Thanks a bunch guys. You will make a poor college students day!
