Howdy, water in the oil, thought it might be the head gasket but now I see after running tractor for over a hour i get alot of water built up in the tube that comes out of the engine with the screw on breather cap on it,it had green mesch in the cap. I clean this all out then i run for a hour and theres white greasy stuff and water in the tube, also this tube pulls out of the engine easily, can this be the problem.
Thanks

Drain you're oil and check to see if there is water? That'd be my next move. Good luck. Stretch out the tube end that goes in to the block just a tad. Or use some locktite if it's snug already. I have one to do that way. HTH

What you describe ain't so much water in the oil,as it is condensation tryin to get out. Water (coolant) in the oil will coincide with increased oil level, often milky oil, and very quickly major bottom end problems.

Now I ain't SEEN yore tractor, but it seems to be in need of two things. A good thermostat and more hard work.

Could be that condensation from not using a thermostat has built up a lot of water in the pan....does the tractor have a thermostat?

Yes, it could.

Need to know where he lives and the climate.

In this GA weather, I have no need for one.

My engine works hard, and gets plenty warm enough without one. No doubt in my mind.

But these folks running (idling) them below 65° need one!! BAD!!

Next time your wife is out of the house, grab her cooking thermometer & stick it in the top of the radiator after you have been working the tractor in that warm GA weather..... it will be about 130-140*. I figured one of my N's didn't have a thermostat & the hose was so thick I couldn't tell by squeezing it. After 2 hours cutting grass in July...about 90*....the water temp was 135*. As I expected....no thermostat. The engine really runs better w/ a 180* thermostat if you can find them.

You're describing typical combustion by-product. You need to run yer engine with thermostat at LEAST 1-HR to fully heat up the engine oil to evaporate the condensed moisture out the oil-breather. Understand the concept?..... ..respectfully, Dell
