I did the switch on my '52 Super M last summer, one thing I need to do now is drop the pan and scrape the sludge out. The manual actually has a service interval for that...
So in your case if you have a warm place you can work on it (I don't) pull it in, drop the pan, scrape the sludge, remember to clean the pickup. Put the pan back up, change the filter, fill with whatever sort of detergent oil you think is best.
I'd probably start with a normal detergent oil like car oil. High detergent oil is usually a diesel oil, you can go to that if you want but I'd start with something gently detergent and then move up.
Start 'er up. Run for a bit paying close attention to the oil pressure, then after a couple hours easy running, change the oil and filter again. Then plan on another change at maybe 10 hours. Pan gaskets are cheap so at the second change you might drop the pan again and again check the pickup. This would give good piece of mind too, a clean pickup would tell you everything was going well. When I did it I ran half detergent and half non because we ran out of detergent and didn't have time to go to Walmart 20 miles away. Ran it for about 10 hours mowing, everything went fine. In the spring I'll start it up and get it warm and do as I described above.

They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
