Lately I have been asking a few questions here on YT relating to my 1955 Ferguson TO35 with a Z134 engine. And I have received good answers from the guys on YT. After several things happened I found out I needed another engine. I finally found one and shipped it from Indiana to Pa. I got her running yesterday and ran her for a few minutes and shut it down. This morning I fired up and she ran wonderful, after about five minutes I noticed a drop of oil on the floor under the distributor. I checked everything and I could not find the leak on the engine. After another half hour I noticed the 4, 1/8th inch holes on the block for the engine identification tag. (The block does not have a tag on it) The bottom left hole had some oil around it. I stuck a q-tip stick in the hole and pulled it out. Holy Cow the stick went in 1 and 1/2 inches, So I stuck it back in and fired her up again. Oil started dripping off of the stick. Now what are the odds of that happening? The other 3 holes were only about 1/2 inch deep. I am pretty sure that the hole is not in an oil passage or would shoot out not drip.
So I guess I will tap the hole for a small screw and seal it up.
I guess you are never too old to learn something new!
