yellow color tranny fluid

Posted by awutay on April 23, 2006 at 13:12:02 from (12.76.135.81):

Are there any experts who want to tackle this one?

I'm in the process of putting a belt pulley attachment on my '41
H. (The tractor didn't have a pulley on it when I bought it a few
years ago - the farmer I bought it from had flame cut a cover
plate).

When I looked inside the opening, I noticed the tranny oil (90
weight gear oil) was a goldenrod color. Not milky white as if it
was water contaminated, but a nice yellow, which appears to
have plenty of lubricity to it.

More info - last summer I had the entire rear axle apart to
replace the axle housing gaskets, so the tranny fluid is brand
new, and the tractor is kept in the barn when not running, so its
never been in the rain. Is it possible condensation inside the
tranny housing has caused the gear oil to turn yellow? As far as I
can tell, there's no rust on any of the gears, and everything is
running fine.

Comments?
