doing a 100-hour service today,
I'm not liking the lack of translucency in the drained gear lube.
Not "milky" - not as bad as when my shaft seal garter spring went -
but some degree of "opacity"
Now, I've always been a bit of a skeptic about the criticality of the fiber washers
but scrutinizing them, the top plug and washer look perfect - I would put that right back in
interesting aspects to the drain plug - the washer is a bit oval-ated - and chewed up
but what is strange is the sizeable burr on the sealing surface of the plug -
appears to have just been made that way - with a crude finish
I'm going to refinish that surface - and of coarse the gasket is shot
but I am still skeptical that water could have entered there.
Going to do a pressure test..
