First thing is to stop the water ingress.

If not stored inside, use a good tarp.

Flush the system until the fluid looks clear. Use a mix of diesel, isopropyl alcohol, hyd fluid.

Some hyd filters will absorb some water.

Be sure the trans/hyd filler breather cap isn't plugged. I once owned a K-ubota M4900 that was intended to to have a horse shoe shaped hose on the filler cap for a breather that the hose was lost and rainwater was entering the hyd system

Thank for the help. But i got another question.
What is the proportion of the mix of diesel, isopropyl alcohol, hyd fluid? and the quantity?
Is that true that the isopropylic alcool can dried the seals if you put too much?

This is an excerpt from Soundguy and he has been doing tractors for a long time.

Excerpt:

1 quart atf ( type f or dex/merc 3 ) to 1g diesel, to 1 pint 90-91% rubbing alcohol. I'll put that into a sump as a rinse. if it needs more fluid for some pickup.. I'll add in some cheap utf or more diesel rinse mix.
