When working with the tractor the other day she started blowing steam out of the radiator & exhaust. After looking for the problem we noticed water in the oil. We drained the oil out of the sump and once done we noticed water seeping through. When we place water in the radiator it seems to slowly seep through to the sump. How can this suddenly happen? What could the problem be? How do we fix it? Had the tractor for 2 years with no major problems.

you have a blown head gasket or the water jacket in the head has a crack

I have the industrial version of the 135 (2135).

If your's is the Continental gas engine, they have a tendancy to crack the block between cylinders.

That would do it. You could also have no more than a bad head gasket, so don't start looking for a tall building to jump from.

Pull the head and look for your trouble. Keep working into the engine until you find what's wrong.

A quick compression test might tell you which cylinder to look hard at but compression may be good on all cilinders while you have a bad gasket between the oil galleys and the water jacket, or a cracked block.

If you find it's the block, they can be welded with good results. It depends on how bad the crack is and where it's located.

Good luck.

I have exactly the same problem, Water in the crankcase. Just as soon as I cranked it after an oil change. Mine is a 61 or 62 MF-35, I've had for about 12 years. I got a piston and sleeve kit and learned this engine (very similar to MF135) has wet sleeves - there are two black rubber O rings near the bottom of the sleeve that seal the OD of the sleeves against the block, preventing water from getting into the crankcase. I believe my problem is that two of these rings broke on one sleeve allowing water to flow into the crankcase. I probably could have replaced the orings and fixed the water problem. I hope to complete the installation of the pistons and sleeves this weekend so I'll know for sure if the orings are at fault.

This would seem to be a candidate for the problem in your tractor.
