If you are running nondetergent oil it will look good - it doesn't carry dirt. All the dirt is settled to the bottom of the crankcase making a nice thick layer of sludge.
I remember my dad changing the oil in my grandpa's (his FIL) M Farmall. It had sat for months and dad just pulled the plug and let it drain. A little water came out then the oil came outlooking like it had just been poured in - dad was a little taken aback because he knew there were some hours on the oil as he had borrowed the tractor several times while he was farming grandpa's land.
