[Farmall] International 460 Utility

[cvill]

It sure sounds like you have it plugged in, Monte. (Grin).  I do not 
remember running my 340U or my 560 much in below freezing weather so I 
guess I do not know if either would have that problem with the Hi Tran 
that is in them.  If your tractor sits without running for two or three 
weeks in warmer weather, you can try again letting out a little oil from 
the drain plugs to see if any water has settled out.   Hopefully that 
might save you the cost of another entire oil change.

Good luck with the problem.  Hopefully someone else can offer more insight.
