Your tractor, so do as you wish. I will say when I pulled the axle housings off my 1811, there were 2 very surprised folks at how gunky they were--me and my dad. If it were mine and I had the time, I would go ahead and do it, maybe even change the pump gasket as well. If you want to compromise, look at some of Sam's old posts. He used a brake vacuum to suck out the oil. To me, that would be acceptable considering how clean yours already was inside. Not to mention it is a LOT less work.
