Checked the oil on my TO-30 and I noticed the oil had a white foam look,
as soon as I took drain plug out 1st thing that came out was bright green AF about a 1/2 cup
pulled all 4 plugs and I noticed the plugs on cylinders 1-2 look diff then 3-4
what do I need to look for .
Thanks
 
Welcome to the TO30 club. The Engines are prone to cracking between the cylinders.

First you need to identify the correct problem, if youre really lucky it may just be worn out cylinder O rings. More than likely you will have a crack or two.

So. Oil drained remove the oil pan. Have a light and then look at the engine block between the cylinders, you may see weeping coolant coming out.

Then let us know.
 
Very possible it's just a head gasket. I'd suggest running a compression test and see if it will tell you anything.
 
I will do a comp test and see if there is any drop in any of the cyl
# 1 and 2 plug do look diff then 3 and 4
I am hoping its only a head gasket
the tractor is in great shape and runs good
 
Have not had the time to dig into it yet
We have our acres in the Federal CREP program
so field maintenance is priority this month
its on my list soon
