Excellent comments in the previous posts. It's likely nothing to be concerned about as long as the power is still up, and the oil consumption is low.

When you get around to changing the oil, it's possible that one SAE grade heavier will eliminate the problem. SAE 30 is the recommended grade, but SAE 40 won't hurt a bit in an old, worn engine, especially in warm weather.

If you have to run it alot in the winter, consider using SAE 10-40; it'll start easy, and offer a lot of protection under heavy load. And yes, I'm aware that some of the "purists" will have a spasm at the thought of multigrade oil in an old Farmall.....
