Default For my 149, need Hydro and Rear End advice

I am close to being able to start the engine on the 149 that i'm saving. Condition of the rear end and hydro are currently unknown. I'm looking for any advice or pointers on how to proceed.

Things i've done so far:
1) Forced release valves to the release position where they remained stuck and slowly pushed it about 50 yards into my garage. It may have been pushed/drug off the trailer a few weeks ago with the valves in the wrong position.
2) Popped rear plug out to check fluid level. It's definitely not up to the plug level but I can feel fluid when I stick my pinky down in the hole.
3) Took out release valves and worked them on the bench with wd-40/hammer/pliers to free them up. Put back on hydro and sprayed with more wd-40.
4) Observed that some of the bolts are missing behind the tires on both sides.

Based on y'all's expert advice should I top the hytran off and try it, replace fluid/filter and try it, or could there possibly be some damaged parts I will have to replace?
Are there any checks I can do right now to verify that the rear end is okay while I wait for my generator rebuild?

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
