Re: (ET) Well the transmission is happy to see me.

That's a problem then. I may just have to order oil from the internet and do another swap-out. What's good to flush a transmission again, atf?

As for synthetic oil, my understanding is that seal materials were updated around 1980 to be compatible with synthetics.  That means original seals in our tractors are probably not.  The failure mode is seal swelling, which can deform the seal enough to cause a leak.  Any seal replaced in the last couple of decades should be no problem.

    but should I put teflon tape around the threads or something?

    I hate synthetic oil.
