We have a 1948 John Deere M. I had noticed that for some time the engine has been consuming coolant, but not enough to be alarming. However today I have discovered that when you put coolant into the radiator, it is literally pouring straight into the crank case. Once you pull the dipstick, there's a chocolate colored fluid pouring right back out. I am not even kidding. The question I have is, is this something that is repairable? Or should I consider taking it to the junk yard before I put more money into it than I would get from the junk yard.
