Just bought a Farmall M a few wks ago. It's in nice shape...bought it to be used as a "toy" for now. Drove it around a little, parked in shed for about 10 days...no leaks.
Carburetor: Took it out Sunday, drove it around a little, ran out of gas...poured about 1 gallon of gas in and it ran like a faucet out of the carburetor. Any ideas why this would happen all of a sudden?
Oil: Went out to shed last night, and noticed oil had been leaking on the floor below the oil pan. Want to check it closer in daylight, but again, why would this happen all of a sudden?
Radiator: Getting colder here in southern WI the last few days, so wanted to check the coolant. Thick gray/brownish liquid in radiator. Can't even see the needle on my tester, because it's so dark/thick. Is this ok? Should I change it before Spring? Is there another way to test the coolant?
Again, no leaks when I bought it, or after I got it home, then these 2 leaks occur after a brief (5 minutes) drive around the property.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
