I like the plow, mine is just like it but it's got a disc or sod cutter in front. Came off grandpa's cub 30yrs ago (not much good in Los Angeles CA. even 30yrs ago, wouldn't cut in to all the cement down there) and I never did use it. Oh well back to the issue at hand, I did notice as he really started pulling hard no smoke out the pipe but lots out the oil fill. That tells me you are making good compression, the oil rings and valve seals are working. You just aren't getting a good seal on the top rings, enough to make compression but not enough to keep all that pressure in. Drag Race cars have a similar problem at WOT, they run the breather tube into the the header with a smog pump check valve so exhaust wont get into the engine. The exhaust actually sucks all the blow by out and burns it. If it were mine, and I was out of money which I am. I would hook up a PCV valve off a 95 dodge caravan 3.0 engine. They use a 1/8 pipe threads on the intake side and 5/16 vacuum hose nipple on the other side. Hook up a fitting off the side of the valve cover by brazing a nipple on the side and run it to the intake just above the carb. My A has a 1/8 pipe plug already there but you may have to drill a hole. That may suck enough blow by out that you don't notice it. The only other remedy you might try is non detergent oil but it's hard on the bearings. Might try it for a few weeks of work and see what happens. Could be the chrome rings, they really need a good surface to seat into. I try to only use Hastings cast iron, and even then I only have 50% success rate unless the cylinders were replaced or cut oversize and a perfect round surface. The last few times I've been bit by rings not sealing I decided a few years ago to quit doing it without boring or replacing the cylinders. Hope this helps, DAN.

Today's Featured Article - Gatherin of the Orange - by Rick Nikolich. In July of 1998 I was talking to fellow Allis Chalmers collector Mike Schilling about the annual "Gathering of The Orange" AC show coming up in August of 1999. He got this wild idea that we should get a convoy of AC tractors and drive them from Charlotte, Michigan 105 miles to LaGrange, Indiana.
