Hey guys, finally got the M home and on the drive home she got hot, about 215 degrees....I thought it was low on fluid so I let it cool, checked the coolent and it was low so I filled it, parked it last week and didnt get it out until today. It started fine, oil pressure is at around 70 psi on the gauge. Brought it up from the barn, and changed the oil (had been sitting for a couple years) and it was milky grey with some normal looking oil mixed in. Filled it with 15w-40, took it for a ride down the road and the temp just started to go up, so I turned it off at around 200 degrees and towed it back to the barn.
My question: whats up with the milky oil and does that mean I have a blown gasket somewhere? Also, where should I start looking at the cooling system,(Thermostat, water pump, radiator)? Any help, advice, expertise would be so greatly appreciated, this is my first antique tractor and im very new to working on them (I have all the manuels though)...
