Transmission oil change, about time!

Finally got around to changing the oil in the transmission. Think that it was probably a little past due.

I've seen worse. the creamy color is from moisture, and if you don't work these old girls hard to heat the tranny up, the moisture stays suspended in the gear lube.

I just finished up working on the PTO on my H, replacing the carrier bearing and seals. The reason I rebuilt it was because previously, I had replace the tranny oil, and it was leaking at the pto (oil level must have been low enough to not leak out the PTO before the oil change).

The reason for the background here is that my 2 week old gear lube had a slight creamy color to it. so, even fresh, clean gear lube will have a bit of moisture in it. BTW, I also flushed the tranny case out with 5 gallons of kerosene, so it was pretty clean before the fresh gear lube went it.

good to change the gear lube and clean out the tranny case if it has never been done, but I wouldn't get too worked up about the color in your picture. when it comes out in clots is when it was waaaaay past due. (or worse yet, when nothing comes out but water!).

IMHO.
 
When I tried to drain the transmission fluid from an M that had been sitting for ? years, nothing came out. It looked like grease in there. After poking through it, there was some liquid gear oil inside. I opened up the transmission case and cleaned it all out, but it was waaaaaay past due.
 
Whats worse than milky oil, or chunky oil when you go to drain it?? Parts/bearings in the oil when you go to change it. That was my adventure! Yea!!!! Good luck anyway.

When we pulled the Regular apart the gear lube?, tar?.grease was something else. It still flowed, sorta. Took about 4 days for the transmission to drain and we had a monument about 10 inches tall in the drain pan. Finally gave up, pulled the guts out and had the case and the rear housing dipped. What was in there was probably 82 years old.
