I have a 58 Major that was working fine, the other day when i went to use the back blade i could not get it to lift or lower. After checking my manual I topped off my oil. Then rechecked things and still not working. Drainded all oil from the rearend and pto gear box but noticed the oil seemed to be foamed. After reading here it looks as if i may have made a few mistakes. First should I be using a 30wt oil rather than the 80/90 that the manual indicates? How do i remove the screen for cleaning? What is the best way to flush the gear box and rear end to get all foamed oil out? How do i get any water out of the system? (the only time i have ever seen oil foam is when there is water in it). Thanks for your help.

Warm up your tractor , engage pto , tie up your 3 point lift in the up position , come back in 15 minutes , wala ! Oil is to heavy , or , condensation in your lower screen filter frozen ,or ...
let your pto warm up the 'ol first , -20 c here today and I had the same problem you have . Try thinner weight 'ol as well.

Good luck RJ
