I would drain the hydraulic fluid (when the fluid is warm)
and make sure your engine oil is ok for winter-say 5w-30
or so.

I don't know the specifics of your tractor however you may
also want to change out the gear & pto oils if you have not
done so in the last 6 months. Castings and varying
temperatures have a way of drawing in lots of water over
time. My tranny oil in my Ford 2N will turn milky in 6
months and have a bit of water too. I can't wait for a heated
garage.....
