Drained the water from the transmission in that 22-36 as I'll probably let the garage go cold for a couple days while the final parts come in. For the most part, I'm just doing the engine, but I didn't want that to freeze up and not be able to move it when the block is back from being boiled out. About 4 gallons total out of the three plugs.
I let a little grease out too, to be sure the water was gone and found plenty of metal flakes in the grease, very thin and about the size of a pin-head.
Not really surprised; could still be flakes from break-in 80 years ago [I don't suspect it was ever changed], or all the wear since, but still not sure if it indicates more recent damage or not.
They pulled it over here about 5 miles, probably 10-15mph (and the water in the bottom) in well above freezing weather, though maybe they did take it slower. Clutch was stuck before and after arrival, so it wouldn't have been in gear. I wasn't too concerned the transportation damaged anything, but not 100% sure. It also took a 100yard trip into the garage right before things got cold and another 20 yards out and back in once after [that time it had froze, so I lifted the rearend just enough to let the differential spin one side - I doubt that hurt much].
Any opinions? Also, the neighbor who owns this tractor asked me what are the general culprits for water accumulation? I had some general ideas, but really don't know the answer.

The soil is a rich dark brown and is well looked after. unlike some areas in the midlands it is also fairly flat, broken only by hedgerows and the occasional valley and brook.
