    Posted: 25 Feb 2024 at 3:51pm
1967D 17 series 4 gas. Recently purchased the tractor it was left outside and had water down the exhaust and got stuck took the head off freed up the pistons and got things moving again. Had one valve stuck, cleaned all the valves up and put them back in the head and relaped them. Started up easy was running good, and all of a sudden started running like it was rich. Noticed there was an oil substance leaking out between the port, on the head intake port on the head and the manifold mating surfaces. Any ideas? Thank you.

Well, it could be running rich.... float stuck or one lobe full of fuel, usually symptom is starts good and has blackish smoke. Oil smoke is blue.. due to rings or valvestem / valveguide wear. Diagnose and pull the manifold - you need gaskets anyway - look and see if valves are oily...

Yeah, if it's leaking out between the manifold and the head, that's a good indication that the manifold-to-head fitment isn't tight enough to seal... so a significant leak.

A firm determination of what the leakage IS is necessary.  Is it oil, fuel, condensation, or coolant? If oil, it wouldn't be from a valve stem, as it would have to go against the airflow path... Hud's onto the most likely source- the oil-bath air cleaner...

But the two things you must not do-  first, don't predispose yourself to the two circumstances (running rough, and the leakage) being intimately related.  It may by a shared symptom, but it may not...  and second, don't assume that just because you've been through a component, that it is perfect.

In the case of the carbeurator, it is not uncommon for a float to go through a complete cleaning and reassembly, only to develop a leak after running a bit... in fact, it is quite common for a spot in the brass (typically down low) to become thinned out and pitted by electrolytic corrosion, but not enough to fail in testing, but after some running, give up and start leaking gasoline INTO the float... and eventually it's not a float anymore. 

Pull off the oil bath, and see how it runs... if it doesn't change, drop the bowl WITHOUT draining it first... lift out the float and shake it... see if it's become fuel-logged.

He claims it to be a series 4. They had a dry-type air cleaner/filter system unless someone has changed it.

I apologize for being completely off-topic here, but how did the newer replaceable dry air filters (like in the Series IV) compare to the older oil bath filters, like on the WD, B, C, etc.? I'm talking about actually cleaning the air for the engine.

They were 99+% efficient in their advertising and far better in the real world because no one ever serviced the oil bath types often enough.

Aw come on Doc - I never pulled the cup down on an oil bath cleaner and found 2" of mud in the bottom and oil sloshing out of the ring.... :-)    We sold Long tractors and had one customer call up and tell us some idiot put oil in his air breather and wanted a new inner metal filter.

“Oil substance” might be rich fuel dissolving old oil/carbon residues inside intake?? “Fixed stuck valve”, yeah probably means worn valve guides where condensation could corrode items together?
Keep looking. You’ll locate the source & then some.
Great tractors those D17s with their G226. Congratulations on having one of them, especially a Series IV.
