Wes I would drain the old oil out. Then refill it with 2 qtrs. of new oil and fill up with K-1. Start the tractor and let it run at low idle until the water temperature comes up to the operating range. Shut it off and drain it hot. IF it looks like most of the gunk is gone than change the filter and install your new detergent oil. IF it still looks a little dirty then just flush it out again with new oil and K-1.
