This tractor sat in a field in dry eastern Idaho for perhaps 60 years, after its last use.
Final drive had water and thick, syrupy oil (perhaps 140 weight).
Drained the sump, from all three plugs.
My idea for initial cleanup is to use kerosene.
My thought is to use a cleaned up Windex spray bottle to spray the kerosene on the gears and shafts, etc. Then scrub with a brush, turning the bull gear and respraying.
If I just dump five gallons of kerosene into the sump and turn the bull gear and scrub, I won't get quite as good of a covering on the parts.
What do you think?
Tom

your idea is good. just need time and patience.you could get one of those syphon sprayers to use with air and it will blow kerosene with air.the trans can be lifted out also if you want, but you need to loosen those bolts on the side of main housing.
 
It's amazing how that gear oil has protected the gears. They still look almost new. How about power washing to remove all that gummy gear oil?

Hal,
Sounds like a good plan, except for the possible mess. The tractor is on jack stands in my shop...however, I could replace the wheels and roll it outside, I suppose.

Can you set a big tub under it to catch the mess.
You don't want that on the ground outside your shop. That big gear doesn't look to have any wear. Hal
