The caps on my front loader valves were filled with rust and water, I cleaned them up and drilled a drain hole. What kind of lubricant should I put on the end of the spool that extends into the cap before I reassemble things? There was a light grease on there when I took it apart, not as heavy as regular grease that I use on the fittings.

Any grease you have around is fine, no need to get fancy here. You want a medium/heavy grease though or it will run out of your drain hole when it gets hot.
I rediscovered that my bucket has a float for the dump position. I never used that much and forgot all about it because there was so much water, ice and crap in the cap that I don't think the spool could extend far enough to go into the float position. Another good reason to put a drain hole in that cap.

Great Beez, this was a huge issue in many older Kubota's
