Just looked at an IH 424. Everything appears to be in nice running order. Relatively speaking its in very good condition.

There is one condition to this statement. The engine oil is kinda milky. The upper exhaust manifold had a crack/hole in it, which has been repaired with hightemp putty or something. There are no other apparent cracks/welds in the block or anything of the sort.

Why is the oil milky?(water yes...but why?)

Could moisture have entered through the cracked manifold and if so is a good flush and new oil an easy solution?

What other issues might be causing this milky engine oil?

Many thanks...

Brian

There is no such thing as a high temp putty that will stay in place with exhaust temps. If it is a putty material, it has not been run hard sense being put in. The oil could be contaminated with water from the hole, but I would depend on it being some other source. If you are considering buying, I would get a conditional agreelment that puts the seller in a position of changing the oil and filter, then running it (with you present for at least 2 or three hours) This might seem excessive, but it might cost a thousand dollars to repair the issue. And that would do no one any good. JimN

Gas or diesel?

Loosen the oil drain plug a little after it has sat without running AT LEAST OVERNIGHT, and see how much coolant is in the "basement".
