Ice does float, even in Hy-Tran. I've seen it. When I drain oil I use 5 gallon clear carboys to store it as they're free for me and easy to seal. (I also never mistake them for buckets of new oil.) The ice chunks that drain do indeed float. As described last year, heating that oil to about 240 degrees lets the moisture boil off and I can pour that hot oil back in to further flush out water from the case in the winter.
I've heard of IH 560's that had large chunks of ice in the transmission case that prevented them from going into gear. Looking at the gears from the top inspection cover there is ice on the them. I suspect the ice sticks to the metal and that is why we see ice on the gears and chunks in the sump rather than floating ice cubes like in the carboys. This also makes it very difficult to get all the moisture out of that case.
