The other day I wanted to use my WD-45 to do some shredding. Upon checking the transmission oil, it looked cream colored, like the color of vanilla ice cream. My tractor unfortunately sets outside in the weather, and thinking that it was from moisture, I drained the oil, put new transmission oil in it and went to work for about 4 hrs. After finishing the shredding job, I parked the tractor, checked the transmission oil again and it was cream colored, just like before, so it was unlikely from water. Could this discoloration be coming from hydraulic oil leaking into the transmission through the seal between the hydraulic oil reservoir and the transmission? Anyone out there ever experineced this ?

There are several darin plugs in the bottom of WD and WD45 transmissions and differentials, each draining a section of the transmission or rear en gears. there are dsmall connecting holes between the sections but not at the bottoms of the sections. To completely drain the sections of the different gearboxes you have to remove all the plugs. The only one you don't remove is the plug draining the hydraulic system. Did you only remove one plug? The book I have lists the capacity at 17 quarts, did you dump that much back in? OH, the PTO would have to be drained too. What is the color from? Most likely it is water that leaked in from a missing or torn shiftlever boot. I have seen enough water leak in here to totally rusted the ball of the shift lever of a parked an abandon abandon WD, and ruin the transmission.

I dropped two drain plugs, one from the very bottom of the pto housing and the other one was under the transmission/differential. These are the only two that I can find other than the one for the hydraulic system which is in a different housing. Maybe I just didn't get all the water out as was suggested by the other person that responded.

Thanks

You may need to drain the power take off housing. It will hold some water which will then mix with everything in the transmission (they are all together). Good luck, Gordon
