Good evening all,
Just bought a 1981 Ford 6600 for the farm and it has a small leak that's got me wondering. Dead center on the bottom of the
transmission is what looks like an cotter pin stuck in a hole. The mechanic that delivered it said it could be a vent hole, but I've
never seen one on the bottom before. It was leaking clean oil a week ago but is now leaking milky murky oil.
Is this a factory hole with a missing plug or screw? Is this something someone else has done to it?
And as the tractor was only lightly used for the past 4 years and it was stored over winter and I'm starting to make it work, would
the milky oil be old sludge being forced out of unused lines/ports?
