Be very careful to check the oil for evidence of water infiltration, i.e. a milky coloration before you go using her again. If you were down in water, you may have gotten some in the clutch, and the transmission. You should check all the fluids and if it appears there was water in them, change them out along with the filters. I believe the 55 also has a clutch drain bolt on the bottom housing, take that out to empty any water that may have gotten in.
Looks like a pretty good stick. When you do it, you do it well!

G'day John, no there actually wasn't much water in the drain (yet) just steep, slippery, peaty sides.
I was cleaning out the drain for when the "big wet" comes soon!
Got her pretty dirty but only got the front tyres or as you all call them "tires" wet.
I think most of the moisture was behind my ears! /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif
But it was fun, & she really performed well in creeper.
Now I know how not to go about it!
The water in the oil, is it something that can happen easily or happens readily?
I was under the impression that these tractors were designed for use in the "rice paddys" in Korea, (pretty wet conditions).

No, I don't think it easily happens, but it can happen, and it's just best to make sure it didn't happen!
I don't think these tractors were actually designed for "rice paddys," in Korea, but they're probably used that way. Some of the Yanmars, Kubotas, Iseki's, Mitsubishis and the like were designed for that purpose in Japan.
You probably didn't get anything in your fluids since it wasn't actually sitting in water, but I always check to make sure.
