In reading some posts in the archives, I saw where some people had bought tractors with 80-90wt gear oil in their transmissions, and when they drained it and refilled with HyTran, their non-working TA's started working again.
This kind of suprised me since I figured a mechanical TA would either work or it wouldn't, depending on it's mechanical condition, regardless of what type of oil.
So, since the TA on my 450 hasn't worked since I bought it, I decided to check out what oil was in there, just in case....turned out to be hydraulic oil, so I guess not gonna be THAT easy....
....but...just a stab in the dark here...if just oil viscosity will make 'em work or not, is it possible that having water in the oil(mines milky and due for a change), or having too little oil(mines about 3 inches down from the full hole), or a combination of both would possibly make the TA not work? Any chance it could possibly be that easy?
Gonna go ahead and change fluid and see what happens since it needs it anyway, but thought I'd ask here first.

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
