Hey Guys!I know this is slightly OT, but I thought I'd throw it out anyway. I've been trying to sell an Allis Chalmers C for a while now. A guy came to look it over Saturday, even brought a trailer along. We started the tractor, he looked it over, and I think he was ready to take the plunge when he pulled the dipstick for the engine oil. It was slightly milky. He said, "You've got antifreeze in your oil". I said, "What?!" Now, I think if there WAS really antifreeze in my oil, several things would be apparent: 1.) The oil level would have gone up (it hasn't). 2.) The antifreeze level in the radiator would have gone down (hasn't done that, either). 3.) If the head gasket was bad, it seems that there would be SOME sign of leakage on the outside of the block (nope!). What do you all think? Am I full of it? I think (and I told him this) that I changed the oil last September, it sat all winter and spring (outside) and what he is seeing is nothing more than condensation from inside the block. The oil had no antifreeze smell, either. TIA Ron
