Overview

Focused on two specific post-rain problems with a brush hog: PTO shaft surface rust (with a WD-40 fix) and water-contaminated gearbox oil. Mike walks through how to identify the milky oil issue, extract the oil using a hand pump since there's no drain plug, and dispose of it properly. Adds a bonus tip on grease as a temporary fix for a leaking gearbox seal. Best for owners dealing with these exact symptoms.
