Kelly: 460 and 560 are bad for this because they were the first Farmalls to go to the transmission for the hydraulic resovoir. Problem is the didn't improve the place where most of the moisture gets in, around that gear shift lever.

I did my 560 once and let it drain and even drip out for two days. Have the filter out and open every port when doing this. Then fill it with new hytran and new filter. I only replaced the oil once but changed filter almost weekly for about two months during busy season. Another item I did was cut a small hole in a piece of inner tube, put some glue around it and pulled it down the shift lever to just above the spring. Make that piece of inner tube large enough so it creates an umbrella effect over the shift lever base. This sheds any water hitting directly on shift lever during rain.

Of course you also have condensation but I think operating tractor in hot weather and evaporation will take care of that.
