Lordy... that's some list!

Well I can make a start to helping with the oils question. The gearbox needs an older GL4 type oil as new spec EP/hypoid oils can attack the yellow metals used in some of the parts. So standard EP90 that you would buy for a modern vehicle is bad news. You want SAE 80, 80w90 or 85w90 gear oil. The axles and hubs on the other hand are fine with EP90, or if it's working hard I've heard Syntrans mentioned. That gives better protection the the hubs, which are expensive to fix!

As for the other questions... Pass!
