I recently bought a Farmall M. It doesn"t smoke blue smoke like an oil burner, but is using oil. I"ve done a compression test and all cylinders have 100 to 110 lbs. of compression. Only 10% max. difference if I put oil in the cylinders. It starts and runs fine. Oil pressure is good but does drop a little after the engine gets really warm, especially at an idle. It sat for a while and a friend suspects I might have a stuck oil ring. I have changed the oil once and it was pretty dirty. The new oil got dark right away like the inside of the engine might be a little dirty. If I do have a stuck oil ring, what is the best way to get it unstuck? Or does anyone have any suggestions as to what to check for, other than tearing into the engine? I was getting light colored smoke from the exhaust just intermittantly and I re-torqued the head and that seemed to cure that problem. The inside of the valve cover was a little dirty, like the oil wasn"t changed often enough. I love to tinker with old tractors like this but am not a "mechanic" so forgive me if I sound dumb! (lol)

You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
