Water in oil. What I did a few times over the years was this. We used to change oil on relatively new tractors and the oil looked like new. I would filter and save that oil. When we had a contaminated loader tractor, I would first off, get it good and warm. Put hydraulic load on it to do that. Drive it around in higher gears. Then drain, change filter, refill with my filtered saved oil. Pull hoses off loader, work all that oil out of cylinder. Turn power steering many many times lock to lock. Drive it up and down the road in high gear. Then drain again. Take bottom plate off below TA to clean the sludge out of there. Then new filters and new oil. It helped a lot, didn't always cure them completely. It is just really hard to get water out and keep it out when you are not really using the machine enough to get it hot for a few hours at a time.
One other thing, the original filter on those was just a screen, next one was screen with donut filters inside, final one was paper with the button screen bypass valve. Well, the paper ones get soft and mushy with water present and really restrict oil. On an old tractor like that I would be really tempted to find an old screen type filter. Also, first 560 were introduced in late summer of 1958, the first year I worked at dealer after getting out of the army. We were still getting new 450's in when I started working there.
