    Posted: 20 Mar 2010 at 9:30pm
I am getting antifreeze in the oil on this tractor.  When I got this tractor it had been sitting for many years (10 or more years)!  I got it going it was parked when the roll pin in the cam broke that drives the oil pump.  I had fixed this but now am getting antifreeze in the oil.  Is there a way to find out where it is getting in at?  Do these engines have orings on the liners?  Could it just be a bad head gasket?  It runs fine and I do not think it is getting in the cylinders.  I really do not want to have to tear this engine down if there is a possibility it is fixable easily.
 
Thanks

Pull the oil pan, pressurize the cooling system if possible and look for drips if the core plugs in the head are OK.

I would find a regulator for an air line and pull the valve cover. Pressurize the rad with maybe 10-12 psi and see if the freeze plugs in the top of the head leak. If these are ok it could be a head gasket,which might show up by blowing water out of the radiator while the engine is running. If neither of these seem bad, you can drop the pan and pressurize the rad and look for seepage around the bottom of the sleeves. From what I've heard antifreeze pumped through bearings and other internal motor parts can be a bad thing.

My B had both issues at once.  Rusted thru frost plugs and liner O rings leaking.  Yes, I think all Allis engines of that era had wet liners with O rings.
