I just purchased a 1948 8N. When it is running I see a small amount of white smoke rising from the oil fill tube / vent. It also has "white waxy" oil in the filler cap etc... How serious is my problem? Can / should I use it before an overhaul? I intend to use it in Northern Pennsylvania for brush removal and field mowing. Thanx for the advice.

My 8N quit smoking and making the milky waxy gunk in the filler cap after I installed a thermostat.
I believe mine was running cool and not getting hot enought to flash off the condensated moisture that accumulates in the oil pan. It worked for me, hope it helps.

White smoke usually indicates moisture. What does the oil look like? Is there white smoke coming from the exhaust? Does it do it from the time you first start the engine, or does it take a while for the smoke to start? Change oil and clean your breather it could be as simple as that. Take the easy road first.
Happy Motoring
