What has been said about the drain cocks is pretty much true. The main purpose for the dual oil petcocks was to drain off the unburnt fuel which would accumulate in crankcase when burning distillate fuel. You would crack the lower one open and drain down to that level (after tractor sat not running for awhile) and refill with oil to the top petcock. Not sure how many running hours you were suppose to do that, but I think everyday if you were running the tractor all day. I believe all H's had the dual petcocks (even the gas burners) but wouldn't swear to that. Never seen one with a single. About the oil coming out the exhaust, it shouldn't do that. You might want to completely drain and refill with new oil to proper level before trying to start this one. Sounds like somebody put some sort of liquid into the cylinders to prevent them from freezing up (could of used oil, fuel, or something). That is likely what was spitting out the exhaust but should run down the cylinder walls over time. I would turn it over several times with spark plugs out to be on the safe side.
