Changed my clutch oil recently due to water intrusion.Checked the condition after using it for about an hour and was surprised to see it white again.I didnt flush it i just allowed it to drain for about a week.Is it possible for coolant to leak into the clutch housing?maybe a frost plug at the back of the block?or a cracked blocked maybe.Coolant level seems to be the same.Has anyone ran into a similar problem?

There is nothing that would leak coolant in there. The flywheel housing is well below the cooling jackets and would require a major block crack to leak there. More than likely you did not get all the crap oil out of there. I'd put enough diesel in the housing to get a good wash while operating the tractor back and forth for a few minutes then dump and replace with correct oil. May take a couple of cycles to get it all cleaned up. Storing the tractor outside can contribute to the build up of condensate in the housing.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
