I have a MT that started getting coolant in the oil it was never hot and had antifreeze in it so I m pretty sure nothing is cracked I m thinking maybe a head gasket or are these a wet sleeve engine? The tractor sat for years before I bought it I got it running but it didn t start doing this til a couple months later

No sleeves.
I guess my experience was different concerning cracked heads and blocks, even though the temperature sensor is located where they always indicate hot. As a kid we farmed with two MT's. They gots lots & lots of hours, summer & winter for many years. I don't remember a single incident of a cracked head nor block. But I do remember plowing day after day, pulling her really hard, radiator boiling, stopping every round at the irrigation ditch and topping the radiator off with water.

Nick,
I had a 40 tractor, which uses the same engine, start losing coolant all of a sudden. Pulled down the pan and found coolant seeping down number one cylinder. I pulled the head off and found one of the coolant ports where the head gasket has a rolled edge blown out. I replaced the head gasket and all is fine. The only thing I can think of is the head bolts became loose or the gasket compressed over time and allowed compression to push out that spot. Good Luck!
