I recently acquired a Farmall "M" and have not worked on one before so am not real familiar with these tractors. It will occasionally smoke very light colored smoke, mostly under light load or idle and seems to be using oil, more than normal. It doesn't smoke under heavy load. The smoke doesn't look like oil smoke, it is almost white. There seems to be no water in the oil, and the rediator level isn't dropping. I have done a compression test on it and all cylinders had between 100 and 110 lbs. and putting oil in the cylinders only brought up the compression a max. 10 lbs. The engine runs smooth and has lots of power. Does anyone out there have any idea what is going on and why is it smoking and using oil? What can I check for? Thanks for any help!!
