Hello all. Today, I drained the rear end on my '40 model H, and I took the PTO out of the rear end.

BTW, the oil that came out was thick as syrup, and brown, like it was discolored. There was also some water in the rear end, not enough to fill up a shot glass, but water in there none the less.

As always, any input is appreciated, and thanks for looking. Bill
