Super 55 Problems!!

Getting the 1955 Super 55 Gas ready to move snow this winter. Have a problem - with tractor running and trans in NEUTRAL, the tractor moves forward a tiny bit when I take my foot off clutch and you can hear the engine pull down push a tiny bit. Took off clutch inspection plate - everything seemed to look normal but this is my first S55 to work on.
1. What could cause this?
2. Would new trans fluid help? - What should I use 80-90 gear oil?
3. Clutch seems ok, no slippage or noise. Only other problem with tractor is a vibration that is ok at idle, bad at 1/2 throttle and little vibration wide open. Vibration happens always according to rpm - trans seems not to change it.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

I use 80-90 gear oil in my trans. I live in NW MN so it gets cold in the winter. I use a universal hyd fluid in the hyd. system. Sorry, I can't help with your other questions.

First of all the tractor has a helical transmission. So all the gears are turning even when the unit is in neutral. That will also make the engine pull down somewhat till the oil is warmed up. I would put a little diesel fuel in the transmission and drive it so the oil warms up good and drain it. Where are you located? How cold does it get? Then I would decide what to use for fluid. Also checked the fluid for metal particles after you drain it.

I'm located in central Iowa. Is like a quart or so of diesel added to the trans fluid before I change it enough to flush it or is more better? Additionally, awhile back I asked about the darned vibration and I didn't have time to work on anything - I think said you had a couple ideas. I will be working on tractor tomorrow - anything I can check to try to find the source of the vibration? Thanks.

I think the book said to put the same amout of kerosine in there that there is supost to be oil (5 or 10 Gal) jack up back of tractor and run in all gears and then drain and refill with 80/90 I did this on ours and then I used diesel on the 880 becous we did not have any kerosine and we had diesel
