Another round with the Ford,
Every year I drain a combined total of a pint of water out of the three transmission/rear axle drain plugs. Today it is cold so the three point hitch won't lift. The hydraulic oil looks like vanilla yogurt because of the moisture in it. Every couple of years I change the oil, but the moisture keeps returning. I can't find any holes/openings that are letting water in. In three years time, I have put about 30 hours on the tractor with the current oil. The suction line must be frozen over that the pump can't draw any oil to lift the 3 point hitch. So where is the moisture coming from?
The transmission case has a crack directly above where the clutch/brake shaft crosses under the transmission. The crack goes underneath from side to side and almost two inches up each side of the transmission. I put two giant turnbuckles underneath that put tension between the loader bracket and the draw bar frame. Just something to look for on 1910 Fords.
