Den N Ms - I didn't try to seal the tube with RTV, it came back from the machinist like that. I'm almost positive it wasn't that way when it went to him. I had him assemble the whole bottom end because my shop is multipurpose and is always full of too many different projects with sawdust and worse swirling in the air and all over the floor. I thought his shop was "cleaner". My guess is that he managed to knock the tube loose (easy to do, given its length and location)and "sealed" it back up with RTV.I didn't want to say in the original post "he did it" because I'm not 100% sure, only 99%. BTW my new oil pickup tube from YT (it's brazed) just arrived along with the oil pan gaskets and rear main rope seal so now I can begin to reassemble the engine! I'll check the thermostat and the output of the water pump and this time I'll premix the water and antifreeze before it goes in the engine! Thanks for the replies.

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
