Robert, both H's I bought and brought home were full of water, not unusual for the older Farmalls that sat outside for a few years. One was parked for the winter inside, by spring I opened the rear plug just a little and a gallon and a half of fairly clear water ran out, then the sludge and terriblr looki8ng oil. The other H I had been using and when I decided to drain it, the oil came out like carmel candy...an emulsion of oil, water and crud. For a frozen from cold rear end,just get a heater under the tractor for a few hours, a magnetic block heater would be perfect stuck on the bottom of the rear end, but heat lamp, habatchi, propane heater or several light bulbs will thaw it out, like the other poster said, cover the rear end with some old blankets or tarps or sheets of steel to hold the heat in and soon it will be thawed, then you can drain the water out of it without removing all the gear oil as water will be on the bottom and the gear oil floating on the top, just loosen the drain plug and hold onto it as you turn it out, the water should start running out, stop when you start getting oil....good luck, Mike in Exeter Ontario
