The day was great to get out and cut 4 acres of 2nd crop alfalfa. I noticed a weird oil/gas residue on the frame of my farmall 300 near/under the governor. I couldn't see where it was coming from, but it was sure there. It smelled like oil and gas.
Went to the other side and loosened the upper oil check plug...nothing came out. Loosened the lower one, and oil mixed with gas streamed out.
I figure there must be some sort of piston blow by or something else letting gas into the crank area.
Any ideas?
I'm glad this is a hobby for me. If my life/family depended on farming I can see where equipment makes all the difference.
