I went to an auction Saturday specifically to by a certain JD 301A and came home with a 1974 or 75 2000!
On Sunday Ifound out why it was for sale -after it warms up it starts blowing fumes out the vent pipe on the Oil filler. At first I thought it was smoke, but it seems to be steam, and really bad smelling, too!
I assume it's antifreeze. There was a few drops of milky looking gunk that came out when I changed the oil, but no evidence of oil in radiator or significant amounts of water in oilpan
What am I looking at??? Please, somebody tell me I don't have a cracked block!!! (the tractor I mean)

I bought a Ford 3400 with very similar symptoms last fall. After doing a compression test and finding low compression in two cylinders, I tore it down and found very large scores in those cyliners caused by broken rings. It's all rebuilt now and makes no perceptible blow-by out the vent pipe at all.

Are you losing coolant?
Are you burning oil?
Have you checked compression?

Mine didn't seem to burn much oil and definitely didn't lose coolant. It seemed to run OK. The fumes that came out of mine smelled mostly like partially burned exhaust. I guessed that a lot of what was coming out the vent pipe was water vapor from combustion. The exhaust system quickly gets hot enough to make that vapor invisible, but the crankcase never does.

Good luck
