Since this is in the numbered series forum, I'll assume we are talking about an International 154, 185, or 184.
Don't confuse with a farmall cub lowboy, though the fluids are very similar, but the capacities of each required are very different.

Radiator - use a 50/50 mixture of the green fluid and clean water
Transmission - Use Hytran (or equivalent)
Rear Axle Final Drives - Use Hytran (or equivalent)
Creeper - Use Hytran (or equivalent)
Engine Oil - Use your favorite brand. 30wt for summer, 5-10wt for winter
Gasoline - Clean, fresh 87-89 octane
Headlight Fluid - Not Required for this model.

Note: The attached is from the 184. The 154 and 185 capacities are the same, but the RPM specifications are not identical between the models.

Now that you have a minimum of 2 posts, you can access all the free PDF downloads in the Manuals section. They are located via "Quick Links" in the upper left corner of your screen. Hit that and a pull-down appears where you'll find "PDF Manuals". Through that link, you'll be able to download an Owner's Manual (very strongly recommended) and any service manuals that interest you. You'll be able to familiarize yourself with your Cub more quickly. Implement Manuals are also available.

Also, take some time and read through a few threads to acquaint yourself with the Forum:
