Ah gentlemen, a most delightful discussion on transmission water. I am always amazed at mathematical ability and I envy not having it. However I must agree with Andy martin that bolt heads are not necessarily water proof. My dad's M was hardly ever outside in the rain and the oil has never yeilded water, however the two H's I bought each yielded a great volume of water, about two gallons from one and almost four from the other. Its owner claimed it had never been inside in all the years he owned it 1953-2001. When I first got it home I parked inside the shed , I went to move it one day in the winter and it wouldn't budge. When I began working on it in the spring, draining it, PTO seal and Brake drum seal were the first things I did. Since it hadn't moved the water came out as clear as can be, then sludge and then oil. I believe water does get in around the shift boot but all the bolt heads on the deck will be as responsible. Mike in Exeter Ontario
