I took the fuel tank off my M...spent hours cleaning it out...Woo what a job! I then primed and installed it again. I took off the hood and grill and am working these over real well also. The engine runs real well and didn't burn any oil until I put the air cleaner oil in. I used 30 wt like the engine and only filled it to the fill line. I ran the tractor down to the horse stable (1/2 mile) and it started smoking (blue). I didn't disconnect the carb to see if oil had dripped down into it from the cleaner yet but I will do that this evening. Any Way, is it normal to burn oil from the cleaner on occation?

The only way it could draw oil out of the air cleaner bowl is if the top of the air cleaner assembly is plugged.

It should not draw the oil out of the cleaner. Is the filtering material still in the body of the cleaner? Is it clean? You can take the cleaner body off and soak it in kerosene to clean it.

Also, does it smoke now if you run it without oil in the cleaner? If it does the problem may not be related, do a compression check, you may have a stuck ring.

How long have you had the tractor? Have you put many hours of runtime on it?

My thoughts.

Hi Jon I have a super M with the oil bath air cleaner. I just recently cleaned it up but did not see any filtering material. The cap has a screen on the bottom but that is it. Should it have some type of filtering material and where would it be stuffed or located.

No it shouldn't. Drop your oil level about 1/4" below the fill line and see if that takes care of the problem.
