I ran into a strange problem with my recently acquired Farmall H last week. It had run fine since I got it, maybe a week before this, but we had heavy rains for a couple of days and when I went out to fire it up after that, a bunch of water sprayed out of the exhaust stack when I went to start it. then stuff was running out of the bottom of the carb when I'd crank it. Smelled like gasoline, but it didn't stop when I shut off the fuel petcock. After that finally cleared, the tractor started and ran ok, but when I checked the engine oil, there was a -lot- of water in it.
Now, we'd had heavy wind-driven rains, and the tractor had been left outside during the storm, but there was a soup can over the exhaust pipe so I don't see how water could have gotten in that way. The coolant level in the radiator didn't look any lower then it'd been before, and the watery oil didn't smell like antifreeze.
I changed the oil and it doesn't appear to be getting any worse, but I'm trying to figure out how water could have gotten into the engine from a rain. Any ideas?
