Hey fellas,
As the title states I have a 1950 model d the big brother to my 48 bw
I have suspected water issue but was thinking it may be a condensation but now I think not. I have had water come out of the petcocks and a leaky exhaust gasket to the manifold, it wasn?t much at first but yesterday at the parade it seemed to lack some power and smoked more than I am used to. I opened the petcocks and there was a milky oil that came out. Also it seems to be seeping from the top cover around the crankcase where the water pipes come from the radiator to the engine where it bolts to it. It burns oil before this and the head gasket leaked externally off and on.
The question I have is from what I?ve read it?s possibly a gasket or the brass washers, cracked head? Once I tear it down is there anything I should also inspect or replace ? I love this tractor since I saved it from either scrap yard or part out. It is in great shape for the age and besides needing tires soon I plan on keeping it along time.
S/n 187820 if it helps.
