I have found my 55 hard shifting in the winter, but it was due to 90 weight oil. The gear lube gets real thick in the cold weather, making for poor shifting.
I found that by running Syn 90 weight gear oil that shifting is very smooth in the cold weather.
I bought Royal Purple Syn 90 weight gear oil and what a differance.
Last winter here in Michigan was real good for snow fall and i plowed alot , no leaks and shifting smooth.
I do have to agree with everyone " you have water".
The lower pans on the bull gears hold 1 quart of oil i do believe.
The trans has a plug on the left side of the trans that tells you that it is full to the correct level. 1 1/2 quarts i do believe.
If you decide to run the normal oil and it is stiff shifting , let the pto run.
I found that letting the pto run warms up the oil quicker as opposed to it not running.
