Water contamination
Agreed but not losing water from radiator so not sure where its coming from could it be condensation ? also not sure why I can not drain all the oil from gearbox to completely and start from scratch

The grey Fergies get this, water gets in when they are left outside, normally through the gear lever aperture and where the top link goes onto the bellhousing. We just drain them right out, flush out then refill. It's amazing what the fergie backends will put up with
I suspect its CHINESE - there`s a fair difference between Chinese and Japanese - the latter are generally in a different league.
I wonder if it`s been in there a long time and the water is condensation. Hopefully someone on here will be along to help you . i.e. someone that knows the correct quantity of oil needed and maybe can just confirm that you`ve got the correct drain hole...
You could be right as the gear stick rubber was damaged (now replaced) previous owner left outside, I've tried to empty but unable to remove all of the oil it seems only 2 or 3 litres empty through drain plug on 4 wheel drive shaft but book says 14 litre capacity. What can I flush gear box with ? How can I fully empty gearbox ?.
Sorry meant Chinese

Are you sure you are draining it through the correct plug ,,the drain plug will be at the lowest point and if need be ,put the tractor on some blocks to tilt it over
Yes this seems to be the lowest point I can find, good idea I will try putting one side on blocks and see if more comes out although 3 litres seems far short of 14 that the books says if that is correct.

There's often more than one drain on compacts. Gearboxes can be like a saddle shape and have 2 low points buy oil can run from one to the other
I've had a good look can not find any more unless the front axel's are connected to the gearbox may be someone who knows this model might have an answer ?
Drain plug for the transmission underneath between the Rh lower link mounting point and the drawbar possibly?
Hydraulics use separate reservoir but using same type of oil and drained through banjo fitting at end of pipe on LHS below seat and above axle. Again only a possibility.
Looked at a pdf manual online for a Jinma tractor which I think is what yours is but rebadged by the importers. Don't know how to show you a picture from the pdf if it is the same even...

Yes your right it's a Jimna rebadged, I've put a pic of what I think is the lowest point unable find any other drain points for the gearbox, I have found the hydraulics drain and changed that oil all ok no milk in there.
