Based on your guidance, yesterday I checked the oil, it was actually over-filled, but the oil on the dipstick was very clean. Checked the coolant, it was full. I started up the engine and oil again was "pouring" out the breather cap, I did not turn it off immediately and it stopped after about 10 seconds. I increased the throttle and the oil started leaking out again so I took it back to idle and let it run about 15 min. Engine was running very smoothly. I again increased the throttle and it was much less oil but it still leaked out. I let it run another 15 min and repeated and at the same higher RPM now the oil stopped. I got the tractor out and ran it around a while moving a trailer and a plow, all together it ran for 45 min or so. I shut it down and checked the oil again. Still just above the full mark, oil very clean. Then I took the bucket I used to collect the spilled "liquid", and instead of immediately putting it in containers for re-cycle, I took it out in the bright sun and examined it, it was hardly oil. It had the consistency if iced tea but was much darker. It was about 1/2 a quart and I would say 80% water. The tractor sat overnight and this morning there was not a single drop of oil on the floor under it. In the future I will make sure whenever I start the engine that I do some work with it and let it get up to operating temperature.

Today's Featured Article - Harvestin Hay: The Early Years (Part 2) - by Pat Browning. The summer of 1950 was the start of a new era in farming for our family. I was thirteen, and Kathy (my oldest sister) was seven. At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows! And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th
