[AJD] Water condensing in the reduction cover/housing

[Bruce Mahr]

Chris: In my estimation, most of it comes from rain water or washing the 
tractor. The letter series from around the clutch fork shaft, the number 
series from the clutch fork shaft and the gear shifter. He who can keep the 
water out with a reasonable priced fix, could make a fortune with collectors 
world wide!

P.S. all my tractors set outside here in the midwest, and I am constantly 
draining water out of them!
