variable substitution in differential eqns

For Calculus of Variations, I need to make some hairy variable
substitutions.

A simple substitution example is shown here in the first few lines.

See
http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Second-OrderOrdinaryDifferentialEquation.html

If I make the substitution x=1/z how can I get Mathematica to give
me eqn (2)
and eqn (5)
and, being greedy, eqn (6)?
or point me to where to begin.

Thanks
Joe
