think there is a site on this forum to order a owners manual. However someone on the forum that has a MF-50 would be glad to email a list of proper lubes. As you do not know what type oil is in motor I would (not) recommend placing synthetic oil in motor. Use good quality oil and new filter, be sure spring is in canister filter. Drain and change oil in transmission/hydraulic system, unless you can determine when it was changed. Be sure to use correct oil, will cost you: 8 gals needed about $40 per 2 1/2 gal container. But this is less expensive than a rebuild. Check shifter boots, replace if cracked, they can let moisture into transmission. check oil in steering box grease front wheel bearings place a inline fuel filter on gas line place a can of seafoam in gas tank when you fill gas tank, this will clean fuel system. give it a good tuneup change coolant check fan belt, do not get it too tight as it can wear generator bearings if too tight. clean air filter oil or replace paper filter depending on which system you have. others will kick in on other things I have missed, but this will give you a good start and little tractor should be ready to go. Fix lights if not working, you will need tractor some time after dark and you will be glad you have lights and add a flasher light if you are going to be on road. Good luck and be careful, Remember: these little tractors are fun to use, buy they can bite you in a second.
