Just bought a 1975 IH 574D that splits alot of black oil from the exhaust sometimes. The sticky oil will travel down the exhaust tube and land on the fuel filters, is this engine oil? kind of smells like it when manifold gets hot enough to burn it. I have to run it hard and for a long time before it clears up. Alot of white smoke when engine is cool, some after engine warms up at idle and full throttle. Tractor runs and starts good. I did put a new thermostat, air filter and changed the oil(Rotella 15w40). The tractor has 3500hr not worked hard. Previous owner only used this tractor to putt around and clean drive way in winter for about 5 years (retired tobacco farmer). There is no coolent in the oil. Tractor did not start spitting until after i changed oil. Engine oil is below fill line, not over filled. Does this tractor need work, or should it be work hard to clear out the engine. I have only used this tractor to bale 400 bales,have run elevator to put hay and straw in barn and make some runs down the road about 5 miles. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.

A diesel tractor has to be worked. It's not good to let them idle for long periods or baby them. Do some heavier work with the tractor and it should clear up. Some engines are worse than others for slobbering. If the tractor is only used for very light duty, that's one of the few reasons to go to a gas unit. Dave

If that is true then why do trucker let their engines idle all night while at a truck stop.

Thanks for the reply, i will try to work the tractor hard, then see what happens, put some more hours on it. Maybe that way the engine will get warm enough for a longer period of time to clean it self out.

Yep as 135 has said. Go out and find something long and hard to do with it and most likely that problem will go away. Diesels like to be run hard and long and if you don't they will spit at you for not working them hard enough
