Ron, I have the same problem with my 560. There gets to be an incredible amount of water in that oil in a short time. I changed the oil two or three times one winter without much improvement and the tractor was stored inside the garage so I know it wasn't rain water. I finally installed a petcock in the drain hole and now after the tractor has sat a while I will crack the valve and drain out a couple quarts of fluid. That will get the majority of the water if the tractor has sat long enough. As to the good oil I drained previously, I found that letting it set in barrels for a few months let most of the water settle to the bottom and in the middle of the winter when it was 20 below I could pour off the oil and leave the plug of ice in the barrel to discard the next spring when it thawed. My problem was so bad for a while that I couldn't even run the tractor with an oil filter in the winter as it would clog up with slush in a few minutes and starve the pump. Still can't believe all that water comes from condensation but that's got to be where it's comming from.

Uncle Cecil was the second owner of this wonderful little tractor, but it was almost as though he had adopted an infant. The original owner was a man from Minnesota who bought her from a local dea
