John: Your problem could be entirely condensation. This problem is much worse on tractors that see only limited use as in less than 100 hours per year. Tractors that are being worked hard and regularly very seldom have this happen. They get warmed enough to evaporate water from condensation. Very rarely will you ever see milky or water saturated fluids in a tractor clocking a 1,000 hours per year.

The only solution I see for low hour tractors is heated storage. I had my SA in heated building a few winters, never a sign of water. I have a 140, I bought two years ago. Hadn't been run in 10 years but was stored in a heated warehouse. Oils were clean as the day it was new.

A lot of folks blame leaks, and in some cases that is perhaps true. Don't overlook condensation.
