Took off the inspection cover(replacing gasket) on the 48 to find the fluid is a milky white,that I suspected, but I didnt anticipate the components being covered in a sludge of the same color but thick like butter.Is there something I can flush that with that wont damage anything and should I completely take it all apart or will just opening the drain plugs and a flush do the trick?While I was looking under the tractor I noticed 2 holes (one with a stud and the other missing)right next to the rear drain plug.What are these for? my other newer N has 4 holes for the drawbar clevis.Thanks in advance

Get yorself 5 gallons of Ford NH 134D fluid or NAPA 65-205 90w mineral oil (or TSC Traveller brand GL-1), 2 or 3 gallons of kerosine or diesel fuel, and a 5 gallon bucket. Open the pipe plug under the rear end & drain that first. Then, move forward to the pump, then drain the tranny last. Next, remove both inspection plates and start pulling the sludge out by hand. Next, start pouring the kerosine into the pump base & flush it out real good. Recycle the kerosine & flush it 5 or 6 times. Some folks put kerosine in a spray bottle; whatever works. When you're happy that it's clean, add about 4 1/2 to 4 3/4 gallons of the new fluid by removing the cap behind the gear shift until it drips out of the lower bolt hole in the inspection plate; that's enough fluid, as anymore will leak past your wheel seals on to the brakes. No need to drop the pump unless you have other problems.

Many of us use mineral spirits, kerosene, or diesel fuel to spray out the insides o fhte sump.

If it is profoundly dirty and has a thick accumulation of sludge, you might as well drop the pump, and then clean out the sump good.

A garden sprayer works well and can be had for 5 bucks for a cheapy 'disposable' one.
