The best way I know of, is let tractor sit for a lengthy spell (several days) before doing an oil change. And loosen the drain plug up enough for it to just drip (don't take it out). Just loosen enough for a drip. If what drips out is water, and un- mistakeably green, then it is antifreeze (coolant). Not condensation. Of course this has to be done without starting or warming up the engine before loosening the plug.
If you just took the dang plug out, and paid no attention other than, I thought some of that might of been water, then you just missed your best chance to figure things out.
The water will settle to the bottom of whatever you drained the oil in. The problem with that is though, whatever you drained it in, likely don't have a drain plug in it.
So you can either put plug back in, do a coolant system pressure test, and let tractor sit for awhile, and see what (if anything) shows back up in the pan. Or you can just complete the oil change, operate it for awhile, and check things out again as mentioned above, the next time you do an oil change.
As to dry sleeves or wet sleeves, I can't answer that one. If I had to guess, I'd say dry sleeves, but that's just a guess, as I don't know for sure on this model.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
