Are there any experts who want to tackle this one? I'm in the process of putting a belt pulley attachment on my '41 H.

When I looked inside the opening, I noticed the tranny oil (90 weight gear oil) was a goldenrod color. Not milky white as if it was water contaminated, but a nice yellow, which appears to have plenty of lubricity to it. More info - last summer I had the entire rear axle apart to replace the axle housing gaskets, so the tranny fluid is brand new, and the tractor is kept in the barn when not running, so its never been in the rain. Is it possible condensation inside the tranny housing has caused the gear oil to turn yellow? As far as I can tell, there's no rust on any of the gears, and everything is running fine. Comments?
