New to board - bought a 165

I am happy to say that I bought a MF 165 yesterday. I got the tractor, front end loader, brushcutter, hay tether, drag, and box scrape for what I consider a good deal. Tractor"s hourmeter reads 3000 hours. The seller told me that the engine was rebuilt about 5 years ago. Drove it around for a couple of hours yesterday and the engine ran fine.

I"ve spent the last several days reading from the archives and there"s alot of good information. Here"s what I plan on doing the next couple of weekends:

Change oil/filter
Change air & fuel filters
Change transmission & rear-end fluids
Change plugs
Grease

I figure this a pretty good start, since I don"t know how long it has been since the last good maintenance. I could sure use the advice of anyone if they believe that I"m leaving out something.

I"m missing a few bolts here and there - but a trip to Ace will take care of that. Other little things are:

The wood supporting the seat is rotten,
Fuel gauge doesn"t work,
Missing a side emblem,
Missing PTO cover

I believe this website has most of the above items. If anyone knows of other internet places where I can get parts, filters, fluids, etc..., I would appreciate the information. Look forward to learning from you guys.

It rolled over 4,000 hours on the original engine a couple weeks ago, and it's been starting to slobber a little on the hood from short runs almost all winter long. Its a great running tractor, and we plan to keep it long after the city finally pushes us out of farming in probably 10-20 years.
