I recently purchased a used Gravely 48" snowblower attachment for a 20 G 4-wheel lawn tractor.
I am in the process of checking it over -- removed the auger gearcase filler plug and the lube is a 'milky' color.
I am not familiar with what the color of the gear lube should be but am wondering about the 'milky' color indicating water being in the lube -- should I remove the existing lube and replace with new-- haven't found a drain plug yet. Your opinions are welcome.

Drain it. Tip unit up to accomplish. I believe it takes 90W GL-5 (80w-90 is ok. has to be GL-5)
