[AT] Getting water out of a gearbox

[David Bruce]

I had to had some repair for my previously mentioned NH TC33. The 
transport to the dealer cost much more than the repair but it had to be 
done. Though I hate the total cost better to have a running tractor than 
a yard ornament.
After a couple months trying to resolve the issue I called in some 
additional help grudgingly.

As I get older I find often it is better to hire jobs done when you can 
find competent help. My blood pressure is much lower when doing that.
