Hello All,
My "new to me" Kubota 6100 was kinda grinding into gears this last week so I checked the transmission / hydraulic fluid and it was VERY milky. I changed out the fluid and the new fluid is looking a little milky already. I suppose that is too be expected with the old fluid so contaminated. The transmission stopped grinding so I will probably run it a bit then flush the fluid one more time.
My question is -- Does the water contamination indicate a radiator leak like a car or could it all just be condensation / water intrusion? I tried to take a peak but did not see a line running from the tranny to the radiator. Am I missing something?
