oils and grease
#3
Grease points: A good quality lithium or graphite grease. (I use graphited grease, but that is simply what I have in stock)
Engine: Good Quality 10w/40: Change every 2500 miles
Gearbox: Good quality 20w/50; Change every 5000 miles
Rear Axle and Steering box: Straight (i.e. not EP) SAE 140: Change rear axle oil every 5000 miles.
Oil can bits and pieces (drag link, cross shaft, radius arm cups etc.) 10w/40.

Others may recommend different lubricants, but I find that this works well for me. Provided everything is well oiled and levels are topped up, you should be fine.

Bob is correct about the hub bearings. Pack with grease upon assembly and leave well alone.
