do you have a dip stick in the tranny with two marks on it? the higher one is for a tractor with a loader and the lower one is for one without. can you tell where the fluid to the power steering comes from? that might give you a clue if it is a common sump tractor. it might be a thing to do is get a rod and insert it into the plug behind the seat and see how deep it is and where you start getting oil on it.
that is a shame that the factory let it out the door like that , they should have done the re-engineering not you.
I have never seen one that close do you have factory sized tires and rims ? makes me think they are oversized. if not maybe it was one of those things that the factory said ahh that is good enough it clears,but maybe you could make new fender brackets to raise them . I would think 3 to 4 inches between the fender and the tire should be ok. good luck
I would see if they will send you new blocks with bushings installed, then figure out how you want to secure the bushings in the old blocks and keep them as spares.
almost makes me think that you have something causing excess turbulence (maybe a restriction) .as the oil thins it reduces its effect. but that it just a wild ass guess at best.
the only suggestions I have is to use a low gear and stay in 2 wheel drive whenever possible if the job takes a extra 4 hrs. that is less time than a tractor splitting session. but the machine can do this.
I do not know if it will work for you but I used a shut off from a 8n ford .It has a nice glass bowl and should last for years.
