Hi,
IH stopped making offset LoBoys in 1968.
The Cub and LoBoy operator's manual can help you learn about maintenance that the Cub or LoBoy needs.
Below is the 1965 Cub and LoBoy operator's manual. The experts on here recommend people read it. It has lots of info about operation, maintenance, and lubrication. There is a table of contents on page 1, and the index begins on page 75.
It shows how Cubs and LoBoys originally looked in it. The lube section begins on page 59.
Changing the trans, final drive, and steering gear oils are on page 70.

It shows the electrical system that a 1965 Cub and LoBoy originally had.
Cubs and LoBoys made after mid 1964 originally have 12 volt, negative ground electrical systems.
The manual has 6 and 12 volt info, disregard the 6 volt info, since your LoBoy is 12 volts.
The Touch Control uses Case IH Hy-Tran fluid. It is sold at Case IH dealers.
There are other brands, be sure it works with IH hydraulic systems before buying one.
The manual tells how to check and change the Touch Control fluid, and remove the air from the system.
Be sure to check the fluid with the arms in the rear, or down position, the manual says to also.
I would check or change all the oils before using the LoBoy. Using a LoBoy with low oil in a gear housing can damage the parts in it.
There are 3 separate gear housings at the rear area of a Cub or LoBoy, with 3 separate oil levels to check, the transmission, and 2 final drives.
The transmissions in Cubs and LoBoys commonly get water in them, from rain, or condensation inside the housing over time.
The air cleaner is an oil bath air cleaner. Dirt that is sucked in settles to the bottom of the oil cup. It should have clean, light motor oil in the oil cup to work right.
The operator's manual tells how to change the oils, and what oils to use.
There is a search box at the top of the page, to the right of the Farmall Cub, you can find info in posts that have been made.
