Hi y'all,
I have been working my way through some issues with a TO30 that I have had about a year now. I thought I had it pretty much in close quarters until yesterday. I just got the RPM's set on the high end day before at 2050. It had been topping out at 1500 and I suspect that it had been that way for quite a while. Anyway, I graded out a driveway yesterday with a scrape blade for a friend who lives a couple miles down the road.I went full throttle to his house and back on the highway.
I checked the oil last night and noticed that it was milky and about 1 inch higher on the dipstick.
I don't know if it is possible, but could the increase in the engine speed after being run at 1500 max for years cause the head gasket to blow.
I changed the oil about 4 months ago and have put less than 20 hours on the tractor since then and have checked it periodically and it was clean and at the right level.
I know the Z129 engine has a problem with the block cracking but I am sure hoping that it the head gasket. Anybody had this issue?
