The radiator cap is the big round cover on top. It should have a wingnut just like the two covers on the left side of the engine. They have usually been Micky Moused back together after rusting out.
Full is about 1.5-2 down from the top. There should be an overflow tube that will drain off the excess when its about 1/2 from the top.
Put flowable grease in the steering gear. It holds about 1/2 percent quart.
The transmission holds about 7 gallons of gear oil. 80W-90 or 85W-140 is fine. The fill plug is on the top left side just under the front of the seat. Big 1 plug. They are hard to get to without the right tool. I just put it in neutral and remove the four bolts holding the shifter in place and dump the oil in there. Remove the 1/2 pipe plug on the forward right side of the transmission, just to the right of where the propeller shaft from the engine enters the transmission. When the oil starts coming out of that hole, its full.
The bull gear reduction housings each take 1 quart of gear oil. On the bottom outside of each bull gear housing there are two 1/2 pipe plugs. The bottom is the drain. Remove the upper one (about 3 above the bottom one), then remove the large 1 pipe plug near the top of the bull gear housing. That is the fill plug. The one for the right axle faces forward, the one on the left axle faces rearward. Fill until it runs out the top hole (should take 1 quart).
Fill the engine until it runs out of the top petcock on the right side of the oil pan. Most suggest using a 15W-40 diesel rated oil.
Dont forget to put a dozen or so squirts from an oil can with engine oil in the two flip covers on the valve cover. That is what oils the rocker arms and it must be done before the first start of the day.
If it has a magneto, it needs a couple drops of 3 in one oil in all the little flip covers once a day.
Give all the grease zerks a pump or two of grease every 10 hours or so and it should be good.

Today's Featured Article - Field Modifications (Sins of the Farmer) - by Staff. Picture a new Chevrolet driving down the street without it's grill, right fender and trunk lid. Imagine a crude hole made in the hood to accommodate a new taller air cleaner, the fender wells cut away to make way for larger tires, and half of a sliding glass door used to replace the windshield. Top that off with an old set of '36 Ford headlight shells bolted to the hood. Pretty unlikely for a car... but for a tractor, this is pretty normal. It seems that more often than not they a
