The building that houses my 460HU is heated in the daytime with the heat off at night. Temp varies from about 35-40 at night to 65 or so in the daytime. Since I don't have splitting stands, I block the rear and roll the front (WFE) away hanging from an engine hoist. I removed the valve cover to keep the chain from hitting it. I have done this more than once -- today there was water and rust inside the valve cover. It was water and not green anitfreeze, so I suppose it is just condensation and not a cracked head--engine and head are rebuilt. The rust was only in the front 25% of the cover. I did slowly remove the oil drain plug, and the oil that seeped out was not preceded by antifreeze. All this apparantly occurred in the last 3-4 weeks because the cover was off before that. The tractor had been run for a few minutes at a time when trying to adjust the clutch so that the gears don't grind. Have driven it outside a couple of times for a few minutes, but engine never did fully warm up, the worst kind of treatment. Did not realize that condensation occurred that fast, especially in "warm" Kansas compared to you guys in the northern states and Canada. Still kind of wonder if I have a leak somewhere, but as I say it was clear water, not mixed with the oil, no cloudiness except one place next to the gasket where it mixed with the oil. Anyone have an opinion? All the old tractors I have bought have had "milk" in the transmission. Never seen it in the valve train before.
