I'll be giving a look. A drain plug can't be TOO hard to find and I knew that when I wrote above.
I will ask this... well, I'll first make a statement. It seems water has found its way in here since the oil that is here, looks more like a semi-melted milk shake rather than motor oil. It's a light tan color and is creamyyyyyyyyyy smooth...
I'm going to drain it but I think it would also be a good idea to flush it and try to get as much of this out as I can.
Would you (or anyone) recommend:
1. Drain... then fill with perhaps a lighter weight motor oil.... buzz around the field for 10 minutes, then drain again...refilling with heavier motor/gear oil
2. Drain... then fill with normal gear oil and forget it however, perhaps change it again later in summer, after a handful of hours use.

Oh... luck of all luck... since the oil here is not the hydraulic fluid, it would seem the hydraulic pump is toast. I saw this leak, knew the hydraulic filler was "on top" of this section (little did I then realize they were simply stacked compartments, mutually exclusive of each other).
I figured while I was going to refil the hydraulic fluid, I may as well fix this leak...
Got the PTO leak fixed today, VERYYYYYYYy low on oil...however, the hydrauilc fluid above, is near full and my hydraulics are dead, including the power steering.
I sometimes wish I had a nice cliff nearby for this thing... :wink:

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
