Hoping to get a little help. My uncles asked me to help them with their 350. It is a 1957 350 row crop with TA. It appears they had not changed the tranny fluid in 20+ years. As a result, enough water has accumulated in the tranny. It froze up this past weekend to the point where it would not drive. Obviously a significant amount of water. Unfortunately the tractor was parked in the woods, about 6 miles from the barn. I spent about 3 hours yesterday with heaters under the tractor thawing out the tranny. Was able to get it home and in the barn where I can work on it.
I know there are 3 drain locations on the tranny. I spotted a couple of them quickly yesterday while under the tractor. I noticed the one about mid frame on the tractor requires a square drive socket to remove. Could someone tell me what size that is? I had assumed it was a standard 1/2" or 3/8", but that is not the case here. This drain is at about the lowest point on the tranny. Actually part of a narrow plate I believe. I also have no identified the correct place to fill he tranny with hytran once I have it drained. I believe I am looking at 7gal to fill it. Would appreciate confirmation of that too.
I would appreciate any suggestions or lessons learned in the fluid change. Obviously I have never done one on this tractor. Just want to make sure I don't overlook anything. I wanted to take a few days to gather info before I head back out to the farm and work on it. I appreciate any help you guys can provide.
