Hi:
My 9N has a replacement crankcase breather (oil filler cap) from some aftermarket supplier. Tractor runs well, but a sort of creamy colored sludge/glop is dribbling out of the breather's slot on the side. I will say also that after starting engine on a cool morning (say 40 deg. F) the tractor exhaust pipe puts out a large cloud of steam or pale colored smoke for about a minute or two. The cloud is very noticeable if the tractor is inside the barn with no wind. Not sure if related to sludge. I am fairly sure there is a thermostat in the top radiator hose, too lazy to go out and look just now! Again not sure if related to the creamy sludge question. I do have a temp gauge on the tractor, so I can watch that if someone thinks it would be meaningful. Thanks for any suggestions!
