This little old MF50 has been in the family since 1955. low hours for a 65 year old tractor and strong motor. 6 months ago it started to miss...#1 cylinder ...but compression over 100. I did not use it much but the miss did not clear up when it warmed up. new Points, plugs, coil, etc, no improvement. Then one day when I went to move it, there was a little milky color to the oil. (engine has never been apart and still runs very strong ..before miss). Continental gas. I have not started it since I found the oil/water mix.
Called my tractor mechanic to fix it. He has the head off and can not see a bad spot in the old head gasket. I do not want to just replace the head gasket, and button it up, without checking other potential causes and/or problems. So I and looking for suggestions and ideas.
Many thanks for sharing your experience.
