The idea of changing it is a good one. I've been around H's all my life & know that C's, H's & M's all like to collect water in the rear ends. I'd be suprised if you don't have a gallon or two of it in there. After it sets overnight (or longer) loosen the big plug under the back end (make sure the swinging drawbar is out of the way) & GENTLY screw it out by hand. Push in on it so when you get through the last thread, you can tip the bottom away from the casting. Do this when its rather cool out, so the grease is stiff. I'd be willing to bet big $$ that you get a lot of water out of there before any grease starts to run. Put the plug back in and then check the level. If the grease that runs out looks good-leave it-if not, change it. (My $0.02 worth. jal-SD)
