I have a 1952 WD Allis Chalmers and I was in the middle of my pasture moving feeders and it all the sudden started running like it was firing in two cylinders I have replaced the points and condenser and have put two new plugs that pulling the weakest spark I also was replacing the fan belt and noticed that the antifreeze is a cream color. what could be my problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also the tractor also sits out side in the weather which I don't want it to but will be put away this winter in the barn
 
Does the oil look milky, higher than normal? Perhaps you blew a head gasket?

If you have oil and water mixing, you will want to get it fixed before you have a bunch of rust and damaged parts. If you don't have time to fix it now, I would replace the oil and filter and drain the antifreeze, put some
water in it, get it running as best you can to warm it up, park it in the barn and then drain the water. Come back in a few days and drain any water that settled in the bottom of the oil pan. You don't want the internal
components to rust while it sets over winter.
