Just bought a used Woods RD7200. The gear oil is milky. Looks like the best way to change it is to suction it out. Anyone have any other ideas without taking it apart?

Just general suggestions in this thread.

I bought one of the oil suction removal reservoirs a long time ago and it is a must have for gearboxes without drain plugs.
Get one and you’ll find other uses. There’s also a small one, looks like a grease gun. Might be just right for little jobs.

I use large vet syringes and rubber tubing to remove gear lube.
It's a little time consuming, but goes fast enough if the gear oil is warmed up by use.
With water contaminated oil I would get as much out as possible, a and fill / drain several times.
