Milky rear end fluid on Case 830

Hello men, I was checking with you as to my case 830. It had water in the rear axle pump area due to torn shift boots. I have replaced them. Changed fluid out once, still a little milky probably due to oil and moisture clinging to the metal and sitting in webbing. It was not hot when I drained it. My question is should I flush it out with 15 gallons of diesel, run it for a little while around the driveway, drain and refill with new fluid or any other better ideas I am missing. One post stated to put a quart of air line dryer in with the new fluid? What do you all the experts think the best course would be to get the rest of the milky fluid out. Thanks in advance for all of your expert help. Nick
 
A lot of times one can park a tractor for a week or so then crack the drain plug open just till it starts to drip and get a good bit of the water out. Plus being sure to run it so it gets good and hot helps
 
Hey Paul will the heat gas treatment hurt anything to leave it in and how much for 15 gallons of fluid.
 
I have had this same issue with my 830. I drained all fluid, made sure all drains were opened. After draining for 2 days, put plugs back in, filled with diesel fuel, drove tractor for about 10 minutes, and drained again. Replace filter, filled with new fluid and has stayed nice and clean to this day.
 
Sounds good Steve. Will the deisel hurt the hydraulic pump at all when you run it for the ten minutes to flush the system?
