A tractor with coolant in the oil should NEVER be run until the problem is fixed. Otherwise, you'll start to hear those bearings "knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door..." Quote: " I've always heard it recommended that when coolant gets in the oil, the main bearings should be replaced as well." So have I. Especially if the tractor has been run with coolant in the oil long enough to get a good guesstimate on the leak rate! True, Steinbeck said, "Bearings can knock until (the Lord) comes." But he was writing FICTION! I think your most realistic option at this point is to borrow a tractor from a neighbor to do your plowing, unless you can get the tractor rebuilt in time. Or, you can run it into the ground. It just may last long enough to do your planting and plowing and then when things are "laid by" you can do the rebuild then. But every cell in my Bohemian body recoils at the latter suggestion. You run the risk of doing a great deal of damage. It is infinitely more practical to borrow a tractor.
