I traded my IH 300 Utility on Saturday for a Ford 4600. I am very excited about this new (to me) piece of equipment. I have a couple of questions, and was hoping someone might be able to help out. First question: I noticed that the tranny oil has a milky look to it. I was told it was water mixed in it. Can someone verify this? Also, what type of fluid do I use in this (8 speed)? Second question: My hour meter and tach works great, but I can not seem to get any electrical items to work (headlights, fuel gauge, dash lights). What would you think may be the cause? Lastly, when I removed the tach from the console, to look for a loose wire, I noticed that there was a mouse nest inside the tractor. I pulled it out and threw it on my garage floor. My son eagerly watched me throw that straw nest on the floor. He said, daddy, there's a ring in that stuff. He picked it up and gave it to me for inspection. I read the inscription of "10K" on the back. I told him it was a gold ring, and for some reason, his eyes opened up wide, and he smiled really big, and then grabbed the ring back..... .and that was the last time I saw it. Maybe we can find out who it belonged to. It's a wedding band. Thanks for your help. I appreciate it.
