Ford 5000 blowing oil out exhaust

Mmhsv · Jul 12, 2015

We just finished replacing the head gasket and getting the head reworked on my ford 5000 diesel. Got it all back together and now I have oil coming out my exhaust, it takes it a few mins to start doing it but when it comes, it is a steady stream, and the higher rpm you go the more that comes out. What is causing this problem.

Might be a simple case of "diesel slobbering". If so, that's not oil coming out your exhaust, that's unburned diesel residue. Put that tractor to work and it'll get hot enough to burn off the residue....

This is a common Ford 5000 "feature". Take it out into the field and work it, hard.

Its getting put back in the hay field next week so maybe that will help it

My new to me 5600 was doing the same thing last November. A friend was using it to bury water pipe that we were installing. He ran it about 2 hours at a low rpm. It made a mess of itself and worried me. The kind and knowledgeable folks on this forum gave me the same advice that they are giving you and they were 100% correct.

This summer, while bush hogging 30 acres, brush hogging, shredding, whatever you may call it, it ran flawlessly and the the mess didn't come out of the exhaust anymore and it dried up.

They are correct, it looks like oil, but it's just unburnded fuel. I think the technical term is wetstacking, but I like the slobbering description better. Work it hard, keep the rpms up.

I have always wonders if valve guide wear contribute to this? And the valve design where its under a pool of oil vrs unburnt diesel.
