I may look for a cheap filter so I don't have to use one of those expensive Cadet filters.
Here is the million dollar question, where did the water come from? When I bought my 982 it had sat outside for apparently a few years. I pulled the rear and the fluid was quite reasonably clean, just a lot of the waxy residue I had to mop out. The filler cap looks OK, so is there anywhere I should look where water may have got in? Considering the fenders kept everything dry and the bottom side of the rear is clean and dry, I don't see how water could get in.

Condensation John, I'm sure you've seen warm moist days that make everything you own sweat. what you see on the outside as far as moisture is on the inside too.
I've got bigger farm tractors and I drain off near a quart of water from the sumps every year, especially the vintage 2 cylinder Deere's,as they are not operated much to burn it off and kept unheated inside so it is not getting in from rain.
Today was one of those days, *53 here in Mi. and high humidity.
the outside of everything in the barn was wringing wet, gives me a lousy feeling in the pit of my stomach.
FWIW:
Deere hydro filters are about $2.00 less than cub
