First let me say that I do not have an FMC. Now;

Blades: When I want to get to my blades, I position my FEL as far over the deck as I can from one side. Connect a chain from the FEL to the opposite side of the deck from the tractor. Lift up that side until it is vertical and then tilts back toward the tractor, resting against the front brush guard. That way I can get to the blades with no danger of it falling.

Gear box: drain the gear box and refill with new gear oil. I don't know about yours, but many have a fill plug and another plug lower on the gear box. You pour oil into the fill plug just until it starts to come out the lower plug. I use a multi-viscosity, 85-140.

Deck: You will probably want cut away some metal to weld some sheet metal to cover holes rusted in the deck. If you decide to do sheet metal work, there was a post on here some time ago where someone basically built a trap door in the top of his deck. When he wanted to sharpen his blades, he simply opened the door and used a small angle grinder thru the hole.
