Equipment
2000 L3710 HST . 5' brush hog . 5' back blade . 5' rake , rear scoop , 3pt boom.
Going thru and re-building the finish mower : new bearings in the hubs, new pulleys, new belt, deck welded where needed, new paint job..... etc....
I have the gear box off the deck....( the mower has been sitting today for the last 10 + years ,) Today , took the top fill plug off and flipped the gear box over to drain the oil out...
Well..... a mix of brown sludge and water came out.
Without taking the gear box fully apart.... What can I do to flush it out / clean it out before putting it back in service on the mower deck...?
