I've "washed out" dozens of tractors with diesel fuel. It doesn't "absorb" the moisture, but will suspend it in the diesel, and flush it out as it is drained. Diesel is a lubricant. Granted you wouldn't want to go plow the south 40 with it in the tranny, but it won't hurt a thing to fill the rearend, and SLOWLY drive it up and down the driveway for a few minutes, WITHOUT A LOAD on the tractor. I don't operate pto clutch's, or hydraulic lift's. Leave the 3pt. hitch in the DOWN position. When you drain it, let it drip dry for a while. Then re-fill with the proper oil. The diesel you drain out, will be OK for washing greasey parts, provided it's not too dirty. I'm not all that familiar with Long tractors. If it has filter(s) on the hydraulic system, change them before re-filling. That will let you start off with things as clean as possible.
