The Transmission is getting its liquid from condensation (and some rain down the shifter). The Texas climate has large temp differences every day causing "breathing" into and out of the trans. When in the trans, the moisture condenses on the cool metal and stays. I agree with old. The Missouri tractor likely gets moisture at the joint where the manifold attaches to the exhaust pipe. This perpetually rusty joint is often leaking water from the muffler (a collection device) to that joint. Two solutions for the engine issue: remove the pipe, tap the manifold to get clean threads, put in a new 2" npt black iron exhaust pipe using molybdenum disulfide anti seize compound. Or invent a umbrella for under the muffler that directs rain off of the hood and doesn't touch the hood. A CV joint boot with a small axle end hose clamped to the base of the shifter can keep some of the rain out of the Texas tractor (and Missouri as well). Working the tractors often will heat the oils enough to drive moisture out. When these were the main use tractors the issue never became obvious. A they are used today, the heat is usually minimal and the H2O builds up. Jim

Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
