Wayne: Have you heard the saying, "trying to heat all outdoors" well that is just about what you would be trying to acomplish. I forget the exact transmission-rear end oil capacity of an 806 but expect it's somewhere between 15 and 20 gallons spread out 1/2 the length of the tractor. To try and warm that oil plus the castings in MN this week, you'd have to start a fire under the tractor. I can tell you what will work, but you can not have an oil or fuel leak, not even a little one. Fill about 3 cast iron fry pans with charcoal, get it glowing, place it under tractor within 6" of castings. Put up plywood wind breaks. It will warm it up, but is it worth it? Sounds as though you have moisture from condensation in that oil, drain the system, flush the system, then fill with new hytran and install new filter. Further more if you don't work the tractor hard enough to get it warmed up at any given day, you will have the same old problem this time next year. This is one of the pitfalls of big tractors doing little jobs in cold weather. This is why I always kept a skid steer and a Farmall Super A around even when I owned a 560, 656 1066, etc. If the tractor isn't working hard it's best off parked. This is exactly why you folks rebuild diesel engines at 4,000 hours when they should be lasting 15,000 hours.

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
