My father and myself bought this tractor last fall and cleaned it up and repainted it over the winter. He used it to plant about 15 achers of corn this spring and cultivated it. There is a small about of oil leaking from around the head gasket. Just enought to start to cover the upper 1/2 of the block since it was painted in January. Is this just 32 year of age and the gasket needs repaced and head torqued correctly or could there be something else to look at? The tractor runs fine and does not smoke. I just don't care to have the engine covered with oil. It had been steamed cleaned before we bougth it so it was clean to start with. This was the last project my father and myself worked on before he passed away from cancer about 3 weeks ago. I attend to keep this one. Thank you for any input.
