I was squeezing two tractors under a shed roof over the last couple of weeks. One of them is a AC D-19. I thought only the loader and grille were sticking out on the far side, but it appears that the exhaust pipe got a bunch of water in it from the heavy rains of the last week or so.
When I fired it up today, a spray of water came out of the exhaust pipe. It wasn't a whole bunch, but the engine was running kind of rough. I stopped it and checked the oil. It was not really milky, but it did have water mixed in with it. I started the engine again and moved the tractor to a level spot to drain the oil. It was still sounding rough. I need to go into town tommorrow to get oil and I might as well get a filter for it. The tractor hasn't been started in a couple of weeks, so perhaps it was rough from being cold(?).
Okay, what do you think I might have done to the engine? And other questions I can't think to ask right now????
I am always very careful to park under a roof or cover the exhaust, so I am kicking myself for this.
