Yesterday I pulled the dipstick on our 285, and to my surprize the oil level was about an inch high!! It didn't smell like deisel, and the coolant was still at level in the radiator. My question is this: Is it possible for hydraulic oil from the rear end to find it's way into the engine? We use this tractor everyday, and its the only one we have on the farm now as we are having a loader put on our 165, and our 1755 is dead. Any ideas?

Don, you will mostly find its the diaphram in the fuel lift pump that has got a hole in it allowing fuel to go straight into the sump. If it was oil from the power steering pump your steering would be getting hard. The fuel leaking into the sumpis a common problem.

Check the replies below,also seek out and check the banjo bolt in the return fuel line, usually on top of one of the filters.It has a very small hole in it ,you may even think that it is a faulty bolt that has not been drilled out. If this hole is blocked you can repair leaks from the injector pump front seal for all time and it will stil leak fuel in to the crankcase.The small hole is to allow back pressure in the fuel system ,otherwise the fuel would take the easy route back to the tank and starve the injector pump.

Three things that I know of that can cause oil in the crankcase to raise. The most common is a hole in diaphragm of the transfer pump on the back right side of the engine. The front seal in the injection pump or the front seal of the power steering pump. hope this helps some

It doesn't smell at all like fuel. Had that problem this summer when the transfer pump leaked into the crankcase. The power steering, that I am aware of, only holds about 1 qt in the pump, and after that is gone, it is almost impossible to steer. This is like 2-3 quarts high, and for 70 hrs on the oil it doesn't seem very black. Seems like hydraulic, but I don't think it's the power steering. Now that I think of it, that pump was replaced about 3 yrs ago because it went low on oil for a little too long.

Hi Don


I do'nt remember if power steering pump is
gear driven on theese engines. If it is it may be
the pump front seal causing power steering fluid
going in the engine you may check p/s oil level.
