That super thick oil that is in it now got that way mostly because of someone using thickened gun grease (like modern litium type) on the fittings on the rear axle. The old grease gets pushed into the gear case and gets mixed in with the 150w oil. The fittings on the tractor originally were supposed to be lubed with regular old gear oil put into a gun, since there were ball bearings involved.Thickened grease can get"pushed away" from the balls and then they run fairly dry. Check your owners book and see for yourself. When that thickened gun grease came out I suppose everyone thought "thicker is better" and started using it. The best thing to do is just change it and put in the right stuff for the climate.If you only use it a little in cold weather just put in the regular summer stuff and don't pull heavy loads or run far in high gear. If you need to heat it up to get it to flow, a charcoal grill or a pan of charcoal set under the rear end will warm it up in an hour or two (make sure there is no gas leaking!!!!), or you can add a gallon of kerosene, start the tractor and let it idle for a half hour or so with the pto on.Then change it. I changed the lube in the trans and rear end on my 10-20 and it dripped out for 4 days and it was 80 degrees outside!
