A lot folks start with draining about half or more of the tranny fluid, refilling to normal level with diesel or kerosene and taking her for a ride, and then draining, just to get the stuff that will float loose, leaving only the hard or dry sludge.
Whether you've done that or not, it's just good practice to take a scraper, if necessary, followed by a stiff cleaning brush and clean off well above and around anything you're going to be working on. Kerosene or any good solvent will do the job. When you're done working, clean everything up again before reassembly. Couldn't hurt at that stage to use a little aerosol brake cleaner to clean out things like bearing and seal seats.
While you've got the tranny open is a good time to scrape out any sludge and give it a good flushing with kerosene, letting it run right out the drain when you're done.
From that point, I've treated mine like a new motor job, refilling and then running it a couple times until everything is warmed up, then dumping the oil and putting in a second batch of new. I know that can get costly on larger trannies, but it strikes me as good practice. Just bear in mind that it usually takes a good bit of work to warm up tranny oil enough to dissolve anything further.

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
