Wondering if there is a way for coolant to make its way into the Transmision/Hydraulic end of things on my TEA 20..

The other day my b rother needed to add water to the cooling system twice during a heavy long haul. Now the trans hydraulic fluid level deems high and looks milky HELP. Did we break our tractor.

Cover up the Draft Control Spring or change the seal, that is the main culprit, and just watch what you are doing with the pressure hose when you wash the tractor. As the others have said, fit a rubber boot on the bottom of the gear lever, Sparex do one, but there are others..John

Here is a trans mission oil cleaning procedure. Note you have three drain plugs. This procedure may say two...

No, The Engine and transmission are seperated by the Clutch housing. Hole with the cotter pin in it under the steering column.

Jim summarized the ways water gets into the transmission well. On the TEA the rain-cap on the gear shift is a metal cup that is rivited to the gear shift. It is basically non-function at keeping water out, as any water that runs down the shifter goes right into the oil.

If you store outside place a bucket ovet the gear shift lever. (5 gallon bucket or 40 lb cat litter bucket etc.)

HI Scott.. unlikely to impossible to have coolant get into the trans oil (unless you actually poured it there). Water in the transmission is generally from rain (at the gearshift boot, at the draftlink seal under the spring, the two bolts holding the seat that go into the gear case, or the transcover seal) or by condensation from water forming from damp air with cool temps to cool the gear case... Most likely is rain water at the gearshift boot and the draftlink seal, although there is always some condensation that eventually gets there.. Jim in OH
