I would just change the oil & filter and then not worry. When I first bought my 1951 B, I change the oil & filter because it had lots of gas in the oil. It suffered no ill effects. Then, I changed the transmission oil and refilled it through the plug behind the crankcase pipe filler on top of the tractor. Yep, put six gallons of GL-1 140wt in the crankcase without knowing it. Started it up and it smoked blue and then oil ran out of the pulley. Thought I ruined everything. But, these old John Deere tractors are tough. I changed everything again, but did it right this time. Tractor continues to run good three years later and does not have a leak anywhere.
