MM G955 purchase

I just bought a G955 this weekend. Bought it from original dealer who never sold it and has used it around their farm since new. This will by far be my biggest MM, and my first MM diesel. Also the Oliver back end is near to me also. I plan on removing the cab and all of the A/C equipment, and making it an open station again. Unfortunately one of the original fenders is pretty bent up, and I am missing the cast fender mounting bracket. So I need to find a straight Oliver fender, and bracket. Also need to do a complete service and change all of the fluids. Any recommendations for engine oil, and transmission fluid. I thought Rotella T, but had a buddy with MM diesels suggest 30wt diesel oil. I have read that Dextrin III, or hydro fluid is used in transmission. Any suggestions on which is better? The fuel injection pump has a leak where the throttle rod goes through it. Might have to have to pump and injectors gone through also. It going to be fun cleaning it up and getting it where I want it to be!

Transmission oil should be 80-90 gear oil. 3-speed shift on my G-955 came with dexron ATF and that is what I used until it needed work at about 5000 hr's. Changed it to trans-hydraulic fluid after the rebuild. Used AGCO "Preferred 55" fluid in hydraulic until I could no longer get it from my dealer. Now use trans-hydraulic fluid in it. I hope you like your G-955 as much as I like mine. I also have a U-302 Super like you do if I remember correctly.
 
Nice, here's its twin. I removed the cab off ours too and the fenders are just regular 4 digit Oliver fenders. I still have to get the correct platform for the open station. I run straight 30W and the over/under has dexron atf, IIRC.
