water in tranny?

Belton is the Mohawk location and when I acquired the tractor I got a 5 ft shredder to tend to a small pasture, with all the rain it is a jungle. The Mohawk has held up well. More rain coming so I am rearranging the garage to get tractor in out of the weather. The MF 1030 is a Toyosha/Hinomoto compact 25 HP, 4wd with standard 3 pt. hitch. Now about 30+ yrs old after several owners. Parts are an issue. What would help is a database that would tell one what Model #,s of Massey Ferguson are same as Hino. Cant find a boot, but will fashion one out of inner tube. Little 3 cyl. diesel runs great and I hope to get er done before" my " parts are hard to find too. Once again Thanks to all for such hard to come by insight and advice.

I have a Mohawk Brave 5 ft shredder from right here in Belton. She started right up after valve opened. Now on my 2nd refill and filter. Got the FEL off the ground and blocked up. Took off all the hyd lines cleaned em all out. Gave the oil to Walmart & Valvoline (5 gal limit). An expensive mistake. The first batch did separate into water/oil, but when 1st new oil came out looked like a stable emulsion which has not settled out after 24 h. Tractor now in garage next to wifes car. Going to try repair of other stuff next. Clutch seized up. The wisdom of CADplans still a possibility for this 30 yr old machine made in Japan.
