Were gaining! I pulled the drain plugs and let the oil go along with water and ice.
I lifted the housing cover off, (there was no gasket) pulled the pump out and it was completely froze up! A good 1/4 inch of ice in the bottom!
Upon inspection of the pump I noticed the set screw was missing from the oscillator.I found it in the bottom of the sump. Put it back in place and put the retaining wire on. Spent the rest of the time removing lines and draining oil out of everywhere.
Not sure where all the water came from but may be a combination of things. Used 2 different old Log splitters last summer, and mounted a frontend loader that had sat off for about 8 years. Also the fact that it had no gasket around the housing and some not very tight bolts.
The gear shift rubbers look good so I'll put in a new gasket and fill with new oil tomorrow. Should be good to go.
I think another mistake I made awhile back was to just remove one drain plug instead of two! When I changed oil. So only changed 1/2 the oil.
