Have '37 unstyled A. When I changed the engine oil, used 10W-30. Shortly after that, got oil leak showing up on the bottom inside of the belt pulley (naturally slinging oil from the rotating pulley after a while). Am I using the right weight of oil ...Note: located in S.E. Georgia..warm country. Would appreciate any help.

No oil seals on the clutch side! The shims are used to make a tight seal, they must be down against the block evenly. I use only 40W non-detergent in my A, in Florida where it is usually pretty warm!

Harvey,

You didn't say if you have overhauled the A before. If you have not, I would tend to agree that the high detergent oil may have loosened some "crud" around the seals.

If you have, try using a straight 30 wt oil. Up here in KY, Rotella T 30wt is all that gets used. Most of my leaks can be attributed to, too high setting on the oil psi pump.

Or you could just tear into it and start replacing seals. Whatever trips your trigger.

may not have a choice, if seal is leaking probably needs replacement as opposed to going back to N/D oil. Never done that seal myself but looks like a real pain in the seat! especialy if clutch doesn't come apart good. Even if just leaking a drip, it will end up in the clutch (this would be bad) I don't think I would try to replace that one w/o help on my first attempt. just my thoughts, Mike

should be using non-detergent 40 wieght in that tractor. The 10 30 w / detergent may have broken loose some dirt/sludge that was previously plugging a leaky seal. or not. Just a thought, Mike

You might have overfilled 'er, if it wasn't leaking before.
