First, get it running and check for leaks and other problems. Get it totally warmed up, then change engine oil and filter, fuel filters, air filter, hydraulic oil and filter. Drain and flush the cooling system. Grease all the grease fittings. Tighten the fan and generator belts. The PTO unit may have it's own oil, if so, change it. You shouldn't have to dump the fuel. If it has a sediment bowl at the bottom of the fuel tank, service it. If it's got a water drain off valve at the bottom of the tank, open it and drain off the water (is not possible if the temp is below freezing, as the water will of course be frozen!). Pull the valve cover and adjust your valve lash. You may want to remove and test the glow plugs. These engines start extremely hard if they do not have six good glow plugs and an operator who is patient enough to sit there and hold the button for 30-60 seconds before starting the engine.
