Update- Water in transmission- Super A

I had a problem with cold weather (10F) and the Super A not moving when trying to tow it into the shop.
Put some pieces of carpet over the tractor to cover it well. Put a heater under the tractor for 10 hours in a safe place. Was able to turn the tractor but would not start. Towed the tractor to the top of the hill and coast started it. Drove it into the shop and let it sit the night in a nice warm shop.
On Saturday I drained the transmisison and rear differential. THe first two gallons was all water. Then a thick tan colored goo came out.
So on Wednesday I will go buy a couple of gallons of 90 weight to pour into the transmisison. I thought about pouring diesel into the transmission and driving around and then draining it out before I put the gear grease back in.
So I have had one suggestion from a reader to prevent water from coming into the transmission by poking a hole into a oil container cap and then forcing that over the shifter shaft. Any other ideas for a cheap boot for the shifteron a Super A? Does anyone sell boots for these?
 
There are many Boots at NAPA Etc. Some for shifters, some for CV joints. Look in the book till you find the Ideal solution. Early Willis Jeep auxiliary trans shifter boots are approximate. JimN
 
Using a boot for a ford 8N or something like that on my H that I picked up at TSC. It fits the H gearshift tight but is a little short on the bottom end but have had no water problems for 3 years now. Don't know if it will fit an SA though.
 
Marvin, I cut some old iner tube and wrapped it around the shifter and put a hose clamp on it.
That will keep it dry. oldiron29
 
Flushing it out with diesel or kerosene won't hurt. Won't help much unless you can take the cover off and squirt it down in there with some pressure to loosen up the buildup, though.

Is there any way to get the tractor inside somehow, or cover it up? That would be the best solution to the problem.
