This is a typical problem with this series of engines. Try first retoqueing the head when hot. If that doesn't fix it use an IH head gasket and replace it useing an aerosol head gasket sealant like copper coat. That should take care of it.

On the lite side I once read on this board that the fellow didn't trust a tractor that didn't leak a little. I've come to the same conclusion as both of mine are work tractors and chasing oil leaks on a machine used daily/weekly can become a full time thing. For me showing my tractors is using them and showing that they can still do the job and do it well even though they are 50 and 60 years old. I do like my tractors looking nice though and will admit that with the leaks they get hit with the power washer more often than they probably would if they didn't leak.
