I have bought a 9N and am in the process of renovating it. It had been setting for about 5 years. Have it running, and flushed the hydraulics with deisel and refilled it. However, after it sets for a while, the fluid becomes milky or chocolaty. Is this from water condensing? If so, what do I do?

About a year ago I was crusing around some of the other forums here and came across a similar discussion on the Case board. I think it was there.
Anyway old Case manuals recommended, as part of normal maintenance, that periodically you unscrew/crack the drain plugs on the bottom of the tranny and differential and allow the water to drip out. Since water is thinner and heavier than oil it would be on the bottom and drain out first. They said that condensation would allow water to get into the housings even if the tractor was kept in a dry garage.
I changed my hyd oil last winter, cleaned it all out in there and now it's milky again.
I'm going to put new oil in it today: Ford M2C 134-D this time instead of the 90 wt.
I think I will start draining the water out of mine on a regular basis from now on.

Alan, Yes this is from water. You can change it till your blue in the face and you will still get water in it. If the tractor sets out in the weather it can get moisture in around the shifter boot. Water will pass threw seals and gaskets where oil won't. Unless you have an excessive excessive mount I wouldn't bother with it. Mines had water in it for the last 10 years and it hasn't bothered it yet. I do change it every couple years. Good luck John
