I have a massey harris 30 with a flat head six cylinder Kaiser Frazer jeep engine in it. I just completely rebuilt it 3 months ago, but now for some reason i'm getting gasoline in the oil, and i have no idea how it's getting there. Any help would be greatly appreaciated. Thanks!

Either the carb or fuel pump could be doing it, but I"d have a long and serious look at the fuel pump. A pin point hole in diaphram can cause pumping fuel into the crankcase. I"ve had this happen on flat head 6 plymouths and dodges, and they are basically the same setup as the kaiser frazer engine.

If the fuel tank is above the engine then the fuel could make its way past a leaky valve and be dripping into the engine continualy.
After getting into the engine it could go past the rings and into the crankcase.
If it has a fuel pump, the fuel pump could be letting in the gas. The fuel pump would be driven and lubricated by an internal rotating shaft such as the cam shaft.
If the diaphram gives then the gas would be forced into the crankcase.
Them are the only two options I know of.
How much gas is getting into the oil???

Quite a bit of gas is getting in the oil, enough to give the oil a consistency of water.

Pull the fuel pump off and look and smell for gasoline on the oil side of the pump.

short runs and not getting the engine warmed up will dilute the oil too. Years ago a man bought a new car, drove it less than a mile to work every day, home for lunch and then home again in the evening. In just a few thousand miles the engine was junk.

Does it have an engine mounted fuel lift pump,or a down draft carb. ? These will let it in.

it's got a down draft carb., and a mounted fuel pump, but I don't Know if It is a fuel lift pump or not. If you mean that it pumps fuel from the tank UP to the carb, that's what is on my tractor.
