I changed out my plow lift cylinder rod last week and found some moisture when draining the hydraulic out. I only have 60 hours on my MF1635.
So suspect my moisture came in the breather tube, my tractor only sat outisde a few week this year. I will add a desicante air breather when i change over to amsoil in a few weeks to reduce the moisture drawn in when the transmission is heated and then cooling from everyday use or even operating the 3 point lift would change the volumn when used too.
Velcon Filters do make cartridges to remove water from oil and fuel that work very effectively they even make filters to remove carbon from oil.
Desicante filetrs are used on almost every large electric transformer you see to keep moisture out because they are cooled by oil and radiators too.
