I came across an AC crawler thats been sitting for 12yrs.The brakes and friction bars don't have excess freeplay and it runs well in forward and reverse.I inspected through the top of the final drive and the gear oil has alot of water in it.Could the steering clutches be frozen?Can they be broken loose or am I looking at overhaul.What kind of gear oil do they take.Should I try flushing the final drive with something to try to get the sludge out first before refilling it. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.

I just finished the restoration on WM8181.I advise getting the manuals, then go through the tractor and check . for example I found that two of the clutch grease transfer tubes were split and the grease was not getting to the bearings.
