I was playing with my new disk two or three weeks ago and after about an hour, I noticed there was gas boiling out through the cap. I thought that was odd, but then I remembered I had just filled it up at the gas station (which I usually don't do) when I went to pick up the disk so I decided I probably overfilled it and when the engine warmed up, the gas expanded in the tank and the extra was running out through the cap and didn't think anything about it.
Last weekend, I swapped over to the mower and got about 1/2 acre done before it started doing the same thing again. I didn't have any time to mess with it again until Monday night. I looked at the gas cap to see if there was anything wrong but couldn't really tell, not that I knew exactly what I was looking for anyway. So I decided to look at the radiator to see if it had been over heating. The fluid was well over the core, but I noticed a real nice and thick film of grim on the radiator cap button. I thought, "well, thats no good", and dipped my finger in the coolant to discover a significant amount of oil where it's not supposed to be.
It's always burned oil, quite a bit of oil, but I have never noticed oil in the antifreeze before. Between that and the 3 pt. beginning to work sporatically all of a sudden, I think its time to start a serious hunt for a new tractor.
In the mean time though, I've spent all week running this grass eating machine at work...230 hp with a 20' deck!

The General GG was made by the Cleveland Tractor Company (Cletrac) of Cleveland, Ohio. Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
