Boomer leaving red spots in snow

Red grease coming off driveline or front axle pivot?

This has me puzzled. It shouldn't be transmission fluid, What about hydraulic brakes? Is there any leakage from your hubs? Be sure to look at the inside of your rims also. That is usually a brown fluid, but dang, I just don't know what is going on. Are you sure it's coming from your tractor and not another vehicle? I've got an old truck that I plow with, and when I plowed fresh snow, I would find pink spots. I went through that truck over and over, never finding anything. I realized one day that the bulk of it was where my wife stopped backing from the garage to go foreward out the gate. Popped her hood and the tranny cooler line in front of the radiator was leaking. Only saw it after plowing, and it only leaked when shifting from reverse to drive. Good luck!!

One more thing, what are you plowing with and does it have fluid? My neighbor has an old Western plow that he modified for his tractor. The pump on that (for left/right) uses ATF.

I have on road in fuel tank at this time. No rust on rims yet. Hydraulic is clear / amber color. green anti freeze.

Make sure you didn't cut yourself shaving.(Grin)

I think Jinman may have nailed it. I should have thought of that,as I did use red colored grease on tractor at one point. Could have dropped from loader or center pivot. Thanks Jinman.
