anti-freeze in oil

Anonymous-0 · Jul 6, 2010

Just noticed anti-freeze in the oil on my Farmall A, and best guess is to pull the head and see what if anything I can tell. I changed the oil and filter and drained the radiator, and filled it up with water for now. Any other suggestions. Thanks

These tractors have wet sleeve engines and it is fairly common for the sealing o-ring to fail on the bottom of the sleeve, allowing coolant into the oil. Best way to tell is to pull the oil pan, with it full of coolant and watch for a drip from the bottom of one of the sleeves. If you find that is the problem, you will have to pull the head, remove that sleeve and either replace the o-ring, or if the engine is due an overhaul, just go ahead and install new sleeve assemblies.

Hope you figure it out and tell me what to do. I have the same problem on an M.

Gene,

M's do not have wet sleeves, so if you are getting anti-freeze in your oil you have either a cracked block/head or a bad head gasket
