Dean - A puff of black and shot of sooty condensate in the exhaust is perfectly normal when cold-starting a carbureted gasoline tractor. My IHC's, Olivers and M-M all do it. So do also friends' Deere, M-H, Allis, etc. All our shops with low ceilings are spotted with hundreds of black "cold start" smudges.

As for spitting condensate out the muffler joint, I've had success lightly buttering the outside of the manifold pipe with muffler cement before sliding the muffler on (stove cement works too - it's the same stuff). Clamp the muffer, then let the cement air dry for several hours before starting the engine.
Over time (usually a year or two) the cement will gradually break up and blow out and the spitting will return. But it's a simple matter to renew as required.
