I am not sure when it was last changed on this M but the oil looks like a milkyway bar. I believe that the a couple of the cap bolts on the trans cover are leak'n. So do I just pull em out and cover with permetex and reinstall or do I need to pull the whole cover and replace the gasket ?

If you don't use the tractor for a while the water will settle to the bottom. Then loosen the drain plug and let the water out. I do this a couple of times a year.

As others point out, water can get in through the gear shift lever opening, as there is no seal, only the dish shaped cover. Also, even if stored inside, condensation can cause water to accumulate. If tractor is cold in winter and you get a warm spell with humidity, the tractor will sweat like a cold drink glass in summer. Over years, this can cause your problem if the tractor is not worked. Working the tractor and getting the tranny hot will help keep the water from accumulating. I would not go to the trouble of pulling the transmission cover. Just change the oil, giving it a couple of days to drain to get as much out as possible.

The gear shift lever is another water inlet point. The gasket is not the problem; just keep the M inside and all you need to be concerned about is condensation due to temperature changes.
Periodic gear lube replacement is the only way to get rid of the water. Anyone else know of other suggestions??

Keep your tractor from getting cold. Always park it in the house where it will stay warm all winter long,and never use it in the rain. ;)
