Thanks; it seems like a very comfortable tractor to operate. I'll have to look into the steering valve. As far as blowby, there is a puddle of oil that drips from the blowby tube when the tractor is running; I could see how it could lose a couple quarts if worked all day. Speaking of overhauls, which I've done on Olivers and Whites, how are they done on these tractors? Do you have to pull the motor to remove the crankshaft, or can the block remain in place to do the job? At this point, I've almost reserved myself to giving this tractor an overhaul, because it seems to smoke excessively and it even shot fire out of the exhaust stack before it got good and warm, and even then it seems to run rough and misfire at mid and high rpms. At idle it runs like a Swiss watch.
