I recently bought a ford 2000 tractor at an auction. Runs great, but the water pump seal was leaking a little, to make a long story short, when I pulled the pump to replace it, brown gunk poured out, definitely oil / water mix. There is no contamination in the crank case. When I took the oil bath filter off, same mixture of stuff. I pulled the valve cover and every thing looks normal. How could oil enter the cooling system and not leave traces of water in the crankcase? I was considering changing the head gasket, but am now thinking someone poured oil in the cooling system. Has anyone had a simalar experiance?

Thanks for your input

Hey Art,
Some people think they can lubricate the water pump by putting oil in the raditor, as for the oil in the air cleaner, when you're running in a lot of humidity, like a snow storm, water tends to condense there, of course it's not a problem if you change the oil every 10 hours like the manual says.

I have a 63 2000. My oil bath gets the same results after running it. I figure its condensation from the heat mixing with the oil. I cant comment on the pump issue. A tip. If the temp is going to drop below freezing, remove the oil bath cup.. Left mine on once, froze up.

Art..... ..My guess the brown stuff in radiator water was somesort of radiator stop-leak so he could sell the tractor with a straight face.

Do a compression check to determine if'n ya need to do the headgasket.

Be thankful the previous owner didn't put oatmeal innna radiator to seal water leaks. (ol'model T trick)..... ...Dell
