oil draining

Just was curious if there was anbody who actually drained the oil in their tractor for winter storage? I know that there is condensation that can build up & make your oil "milky", so I was just curious.
 
NEVER if any thing I would over fill so that as the water built up the oil would then go up to where it needs to be and keep things from rusting up
 
The only open area on your engine is the breather so pray tell me how condensation would get into and cause the oil to get milky. Same way with the transmission as they are sealed. Now if you let it out in the weather without covering the exhaust thats different.
 
It must build up somehow. I had an M & everytime I went to use it in the wintertime to drop a bale of hay, I had to drain the condensation from the pitcock.
 
If the engines and transmissions didn't have breathers, the pressure created by the expansion of the air (and liquid) when it's warmed would force the fluids past the seals. Conversely, the vacuum created by the contraction when cooled would draw air in (with its dust and dirt) past the seals. The engineered-in "breathing" that takes place during warming and cooling is the way air enters with its accompanying water vapor. The resulting condensation causes the water buildup that we observe in things that sit even though rain can't get in. Also, some metals sweat (condense moisture) much worse than others and some climates are much more humid than others, causing a faster buildup of water.
