John, being you're in PA and will experience colder weather, go with a multi-weight oil for easier starting and better oil flow when cold.
I'm in MN and personally, I run 10W30 or 10W40. I just used my Deere on Wednesday, she had sat for over 3 weeks, much of it below zero, and at 14 degrees she fired right up.
I would change all the fluids just so you know when it was last done.
Another suggestion for you: I buy a nice little notebook to use as a log book. Write in that book the date, hours on the clock, part numbers used, cost of parts, and other relevant details every time you do anything to your tractor for maintenance or repair.
It is amazing how fast you can forget when you last changed oil. Also, recording part numbers gives you an instant ability to look them up when the same part is needed rather then grubbing around on the web. Oil filter number, spark plug number, etc.
Start your book with the tractor name, serial number, hours at purchase and how much you paid. These books become fascinating references for the future.
