A couple weeks back, I was asking about re-attaching the PTO engage lever that had stopped working. I finally had a chance to work on it tonight. The sleeve that the lever-rod attaches to had just rotated down where the lever-rod no longer touched it. It was easy to rotate it back into place and re-tighten the screws that held it in place.
What I found when I got in there was that the fluid was a light brown color - kind of like well-creamed coffee. Sean_In_PA answered my question very well about what the fluid should be used there as he replied to me a couple weeks ago, though I have no idea what that kind of fluid should look like.

When I got the nearly 8 gallons drained, I took this picture to see if it would show you enough to tell if it looked off to you guys. A friend of mine suggested that it looked like water had gotten into it. In the photo, you can see that something is trying to separate out from the fluid.
After draining the fluid I also noticed that it appears that there is a small machined hole (maybe 1/4" diameter) between the back-end chamber and the transmission chamber. Is the fluid supposed to be shared, or is there something missing that would seal the two chambers off from eachother? By peeking into the fill hole for the transmission it did look like the same milky stuff, though it was hard to see very clearly past the mechanical parts.

Today's Featured Article - Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
