Need to make a trip to town for anti-freeze and oil. Does anybody have a good guess of how much I need to purchase to fill everything back up after a complete drain of everything?[oil]

You'll need 1 gallon of full strength anti-freeze or 2 gallons of the fifty fifty. I drain the radiator and the block so I can get all the needed anti-freeze in her. The block drain is behind the fuel filter.
Next you'll need at least 10 or 11 gallons of sae 30 for the transmission and hydraulics.
Next you'll need 7 quarts of a good HD diesel oil. I use Pennzoil 15W 40 in mine. The owners manual says to put 30W in it as well, but I am a Pennzoil user, and this is good diesel oil.
You need to also clean your oil bath breather, this will take almost a quart.
Greaser up real good and your ready to roll.

Got my oils in today, more expensive than I expected. Also installed hydraulic top and finished my gearshift fix.
