Ron, I have the same problem with my 560. There gets to be an incredible amount of water in that oil in a short time. I changed the oil two or three times one winter without much improvement and the tractor was stored inside the garage so I know it wasn't rain water. I finally installed a petcock in the drain hole and now after the tractor has sat a while I will crack the valve and drain out a couple quarts of fluid. That will get the majority of the water if the tractor has sat long enough. As to the good oil I drained previously, I found that letting it set in barrels for a few months let most of the water settle to the bottom and in the middle of the winter when it was 20 below I could pour off the oil and leave the plug of ice in the barrel to discard the next spring when it thawed. My problem was so bad for a while that I couldn't even run the tractor with an oil filter in the winter as it would clog up with slush in a few minutes and starve the pump. Still can't believe all that water comes from condensation but that's got to be where it's comming from.
