Recently bought a 52' Super C. This is what I know about it...it was a good running tractor 15yrs ago...it has spent the last 15yrs outside. I pulled it int he garage, I got it running really nice now, except , it smokes. I let it run about 30 minutes today & I took it on about a mile ride down the road & back...still smokes. The first day I got it, I changed all the fluids & noticed about 2 tablespoons of antifreeze came out before the oil...I decided to run it & watch it...so far, I've started the tractor a dozen times & no more antifreeze is coming out. The previous owner told me he put straight antifreeze/ no water in the radiator because he knew it wouldn't be run. He also told me he filled the cylinders w motor oil prior to setting it outside. I tookt he hood off & looked @ valve train & I have never seen a dirtier motor, aweful, ugly, never seen anything so bad, but, it runs so nice(other than the smoke).....I'm not doing a rebuild this winter (other projects)....any ideas?
