So I was at the man's mall today (fleet farm)- looking at all the things you can add to your various tractor fluids. And most of them say "miracle" or "magic" or something like that. Well I bought a can of Sea foam and dumped it in my hy-trans resevoir and the next thing ya know I lost my power steering and my three point..... .So I pull the cap off to look in the resevoir and what looks like melted chocolate ice cream comes bubbling out. I assume this is bad. Now, can I just drain the hydro fluid and refill with new (probably skip the seafoam this time) and call it good or have I done major damage.
FYI - IH404

Still too cold to work on this project. The hydaulic filter is a metal screen inside a canister. Should I replace it or rinse it out or should I just leave it alone?

city boy, it wasnt the sea foam,you had water in there, and you put the sea foam in with it, and at the same time the water in there was freezeing, cause the temp of 3 degrees. warm it up and change the oil and it will be fine. RP

one tip, jack up the opposite side of the tractor that the drain plug is on if possible. My 300u stores about 1 quarts of the stuff in the resevoir when the plug is pulled, found that out when taking the cover off to change my filter...

Drain it, replace with a Hytran equivalent, run it a while, drain again and put in either HyTran or a name brand equivalent. Hytran does not need additives. It is very likely that part of the milky stuff you saw was water already in the fluid. It happens because the fluid does not get changed often enough. I doubt if you hurt anything, just don't use the junk again.

Thanks,
Tommorow it's supposed to warm up to -3. Looks like I'm in for a cold project.

You don't want to be changing all this fluid below 40 degrees. If you can't get it inside, I take the Knipco, put it on a table close to the transmission or engine. Helps to build a little winf break with scrap plywood. (BHIND the heater)
