The big difference between your tractor and your Dads is the usage. I bet that your Dad's =tractors was used a lot more than you do yours.
Like others have posted just about all open vented transmissions will get contestation inside of them. When these tractors where being seriously used they usually would get warmed up enough to evaporate the water out of the oil. Now that many of these tractors are doing very light duty they never get warm enough to evaporate the moisture out of the oil.
The only thing I have noticed is that some tractors seem to collect water more than others. I have thought it might be because some tractors warm the oil up faster than others.
An example of this is the JD utility tractors after the 10 series. They rarely have condensation issues. They also have a higher capacity hydraulic pump/system. So the hydraulic oil warms up pretty fast on them. This is actually an issue in the summer if your using them hard. I can remember using a JD 2640 plowing. The transmission case would get hot enough that it was uncomfortable to hold your legs against it.
So on your IH 240. change the oil and flush the case the best you can. Then try to use it more or at least run it hard every now and then to warm the oil up.
