I haven't used my MF65 since last year. Checked the transmission oil and I saw it was over the full mark by about an inch. I drained some water out of the rear drain plug but forgot about the front one. Ran the tractor for about 10 minutes. Checked the oil and it was milky white. I now have drained all the oil. The owners manual says to use straight mineral gear oil?
Does anyone know what oil to put back in?

Thanks

I use this from TSC (Tractor Supply) which may or may not be in your area. The product might though.

It list that is equivalent to Permatran III. I read somewhere that many use MF's Permatran in 65's. it requires around 8 gallons. Water enters through the shifter boots. Take a look at them to see if they need replacing. There are two drain plugs. pull them both to completely drain both ends of the reservoirs. Start check the fluid level after seven gallons. the actual amount is 31.7 quarts. I use a cheap tarp to cover the seat to the nose of the tractor and secure with bungee cords which does a dandy job keeping vitals dry.
