New to me G2160

[donscastle]

Hello, I just purchased a Kubota lawn tractor model G2160, 519 hours, Kubota D782 diesel 3-cylinder liquid-cooled 781 cc 21 hp engine, 2wd with power steering, 60" deck.
What are the first things I should check, change, adjust, etc.?
I believe the previous owner took pride in ownership; as it appears very clean, no rust, overall very good condition. I trust in regular maintenance and want this machine to run another 1000 hours. (if it does it will no doubt outlast me)
I have downloaded the Workshop and Owners Manuals, have average mechanical skills.
I plan to follow the Kubota maintenance schedule; So my question is the checklist of things to do "now".
Thanks,
Donald

Fluids and filters unless you have a trustworthy maintenace record. Break out the grease gun too. Other than that simply follow the book. I have one as well as the gas version and both are excellent mowers.
