'49 Cub transmission fluid

This morning I drained the transmission fluid from the '49 Cub project tractor. The fluid looked like tan colored paint. I have never seen any gear oil that color. As far as I could tell it was clean.
Has anyone seen gear oil that was tan? Is that some special current manufactured stuff or is that perhaps original fluid?
 
water in there
flush good with kerosene
fill with 3 1/2 pints of 90 wt
can do more and more to check
all detailed out on farmallcub.com
Good luck
Ron
 
Thank you. I anticipated I better prepare to clean it out so bought a Spectricide sprayer to use kerosene to flush inside the transmission. It means removing the drain plug again.

I am sure that I will appreciate replacing all the fluids, the wiring, sand blasting the battery box (off the tractor) before repainting it, and whatever else I need to do. Better to do this now than to be blissfully ignorant of problems that a little TLC would fix.

I am going to look for square sockets for my old tractors. Those plugs can be a challenge to get loose. Are there old Cub tools (like there are for the old Ford tractors)?
 
The only tool I'm aware of is a grease gun, 8 pt sockets up to 3/4 can be picked up at Sears. Larger sizes see your Snap-on man. Snap-on also sells square sockets as well as drain plug sockets.
