Hi Hugh , As far as I know ( and from the looks of the motor oil I drained ) it sat for a considerable amount of time . I removed grass , crud and heavy sludge from the crankcase pan . I had to scrape the built up grease and crud from the gearcase when I changed and flushed that oil . I guess I didn't flush the belt case very good though because when I was done and drove it for about 15 miles on the roads around here I checked the level in the drivetrain case and it was gray again but still full . All this leads me to think that the water came out of the belt case . I put about 1/2 gallon of 90wt through it as I refilled the drivetrain case . I can't afford to change the gear oil again anytime soon so it stays as is . Any way the problem now is that the beltdrive won't shift into gear and the drivetrain growls under load , quiet as a mouse in a coasting situation so it probably needs bearings/bushings replaced and I can see the rust pits on the gear faces through the check plug and upper fill holes . I've tried shifting the beltdrive many different ways . It just feel's like the gear doesn't want to move at all . The control arm is free feeling . As for the trany oil , now that it is cold using it will have to wait for warmer weather since I don't have anything to use it for now . I'm going to use it to pull the IH 990 moco this spring , I think that might give it a workout , cutting 30% alfalfa and the rest grass . It won't be a long workout because it's only 6 acres . In fact I got it to take over all the haying duties so I'm going to have to find something for the 1755 oly to do while it's waiting to pull the disk and plow . Oops Sorry for the long post again , Take care ...Randy
