Just got the 188D rebuild running- purrs like a kitty although more pricey than I had thought.-But all is new and it will outlive me. Anyway, this 1845 sat for about 8 years outside and before it moves - I drained the chain cases; 4 gals of water and oil out of each side. The chain gear looks good- no rust or anything. I have maint records of minor work on the chain gear -about 200 hours before the engine stuck. The Case dealer says to use 90-140 gear lube. My question is- Since I have a milky brown sloppy residue in the chain cases, should they be flushed out with Diesel or anything before refilling with gear oil? Will this water and oil residue contaminate the gear oil I am putting in? Or does it matter?

my 1835 leaks water into the chain cases. this is a design flaw on the older case skidsteers. the plastic covers crack and leak and replacing them doesnt help much either, $40 per cover. if left out in the weather they will get water in them. if you drain about once a year and put used motor oil in them,( 1 and a half gal.)per side, they will be fine. All the lube does is lubricate the chains and that doesnt take much. the bearings in the hubs are sealed and use wheel bearing grease which is another problem and will eventually cause you some trouble. they will start popping and squealing when they are dry (wheel bearings), and will usually have to be replaced. any good bearing house will have them for about $60 per wheel, including seals.
