4010 guy said: (quoted from post at 14:40:03 03/02/10) I have a 4010 that has shown some leakage out of one of the weep holes on the left side of the block. I've been told that this is the first sign of a possible overhaul. i also have some raw oil comming out of the exhaust manifold - figure it might be a worn valve rod guide. Someone told me i could do an "inframe" overhaul - get's everything taken care of except the cam shaft seals.
Anyone out there with any experience doing this? Good idea or not? Difficult to do? Thanks for the help.
Occasional leakage from a weep hole is nothing to get too concerned over. The weep holes are there just for that reason, but if the leakage is more than occasional then the sleeve O-rings are failing, and most likely, due to the age of the 4010, the grooves that the O-rings sit in are eroded away also and new o-rings won't fix it. There is a way to fix it, but I doubt you will be doing it without taking the block to a machine shop.
If the tractor is a diesel, that raw oil might just be unburned fuel. Take the tractor out and make it WORK hard for awhile and it may clear up.

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he reached his early sixties
