Overlooked sometimes is worn valve guides. These usually show up as burning oil when cold but as you say, quits when warmed up. Other way they show is to let it idle for awhile and then "goose" it. If you get a puff of blue smoke that's where it came from, black is unburned fuel.
My '63 Ford 2000D, at 3750ish hours, never had a wrench on the engine proper and probably never will. It smokes a bit when you goose it but doesn't burn oil. I change the oil once a year and don't remember the last time I added between changes. Exhaust is a little bit blue when first started but cleans up once warm. Obviously goosing gets the above results, a little blue and black. I use snake oil additives.
I think about what and where it is in life and it's going to continue as is. It starts fast, runs and works great, couldn't ask for a better tractor of the sort. What am I to gain by ripping into it and starting a chain reaction events of this change caused that problem and that caused this.............. Nothing but something extra to do, money to spend for what, and loss of the usage while it's down.

I've heard the arguments for non-detergent oils but would never trade it for today's formulations. Paint is another, the modern acrylic enamels are great for resistance to grease and fuel stains, retaining their shine and they last forever; unlike enamels and lacquers . Still another is the alternator. No doubt using the original generator keeps the tractor pure, but for thos
