Can't help on the transmission drain and filter. On head bolts, they are supposed to be torqued to a specific number of foot pounds when the head is installed and in a certain sequence. you will have to do some research to find that info, a ford dealership should tell you or maybe someone on here has that info. I don't think its that critical since you don't have the head off, just don't get wrench happy and over tighten it and wring a bolt off. If it continues leaking at the head and you are sure it is at the head gasket, then the head gasket probably will blow soon and the rebuild job becomes immediate. What you should do is listen to the sound of the engine. A diesel does a certain amount of rattling, but you don't want to run it if the engine develops a knock indicating that a rod may be ready to go through the block. Since you ran it pulling the bush hog and nothing happened, I doubt it this is going to happen, but don't let it run low on oil. Like the other post said, be sure you put the right amount of oil in the engine. Good luck. KEH
