550 transmission problems after sitting

Post by ryans » Sun Mar 27, 2016 6:26 am

Hi I have a 1985 straight 550 with only 1020 hours, the water pump went on it two months, prior to that all gears worked great, no issues with the transmission at all. It took me a while to fix the water pump so it sat for a couple of months. I finally got time and put the pump back on, everything worked great started and ran fine. But when i put in gear didn;t move at all!!, blade and backhoe work great but no movement, looked at transmission fluid and its milky appears water got into it.
Any ideas?? doesn't appear to coolant in it. I can't find the drain plugs for transmission either. thanks for any help or suggestions, I plan on draining and changing filter but not sure where water came from and possible damage to transmission even though it really hasn't been run.
