Then usually take an 1-1/8" wrench and let the engine oil drain plug almost out of the pan until i get a drip or two to make sure there is no water in the oil.Tractors this age often have failing cylinder sleeve o rings causing coolant to get in the oil.Just my 2cents good luck!they are a nice tractor [Reply]  [No Email]
