Default Automatic trany fluid vs hydro oil

I drained the hydro oil out of my 123 because I had a leak and over the winter, I don't know if it leaked all out or froze. When I drained it, it was all milky and yellow which the oil i put in it was not that way. I have the same stuff in my log splitter and it looks nothing like that looks just like when i put it in whats causing this. Would I be better off to run ATF that is what is in my 127 and I never have a problem?

I'd be looking at the cover on the top of the trans. Does the tractor stay out side?

Something you might be running into is condensation.
On larger, (think vintage ag tractors) when you operate them, the gear box's get warm and the air vent allows the expanded air to escape.
When they cool off air re enters via the vent or other areas.
Air has moisture.
On a wet/damp day go look @ a crankcase/gear case and you will see "sweat"
That is on the inside too.
Every year I drain off water/condensation from the bottom of my collector RED and Green tractors via the bottom drain plugs.
Most times it is about a QUART from the 15 or so gallon gear reservoirs.
These tractors are inside an unheated building and some are not run/used for several years @ a time.
It is the nature of things.
Gear cases almost never get hot enough to boil off the condensation unlike an engine that does.
I doubt an arid place like Arizona/or desert would have much of a problem, but that is not the case in high humidity areas.
--Just my two cents.

The problem is not the oil, no matter what the price is.

BINGO!!!
Give that man a prize!!
At $22.99/5gal someone is getting hosed here.
J just bought 5 Gal of the new HyTran at the Case/IH dealer, it was $79.70 + tax....$15.94/gal again + tax
It takes 14 PT per change which is 1.75 Gal maybe a bit more for the filter.
That's about $28 without tax.
How much do you spend for an oil change on your car or truck?
This is the 1st thing I do to a hydro Cub when it comes across my bench as soon as I get it back up on it's feet and good to go as I have no history on service in the past in most cases.

My point was Ya can't buy much of anything any more for $1.29/gal

This is what Ya get now, on the left, MAT3540.
It replaces the HyTran ultra MAT3505.
I was informed of this just the other day when I went to purchase a can from our local Case/IH dealer, and they are a big dealer, been around forever. It is backwards compatable with earlier versions.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
