To add to what both of the guys have said below, if your transmission level is above the brake seals, then you probably have water in the bottom of the case. IH letter series have a habit of getting water into the differential case through the "inletted" bolt holes on the top of the case if left outside. They also draw a lot of moisture into the housing from just condensation. I usually drain off my H in the fall by unscrewing the bottom drain plug just enough so the water comes out. When oil starts to flow with a good color, I screw the plug back in. Usually get a quart or more of water. Be sure the tractor has not moved for at least 12 hours so the water settles to the bottom of the housing. I've seen them with so much water in the housing that they wouldn't move when the water froze the bull gears solid. (My $0.02 worth. jal-SD)
