I appreciate you guys input, thanks. Everybody always says, these things all smoke. I can overlook that if they all do it, but the throwing oil all over the other motor has to go. The fuel tank does have a shut off on it to keep carb from putting gas into the oil, but when I smelled it's oil, it smelled gassy. Therefore, that was my decision to change it. The little fellow runs so good, it will start the big motor in the starting position. That's why I have not seen this magnitude of the problem until now, because the prior big engine starts were done at a lower RPM. I was lettin her rev aliitle to warm up for the oil change.
1) I was planning to add a straight wt. oil but only 30w. Doesn't 50w seem a little thick for any winter starting?
2) I should tell you, the tractor is a restoration project and will be rarely started in the winter anyway. However, the oil throwing becomes a bigger issue on a prefect paint job.
3) I do have a repair manual on the way currently, should show any day.
4) QUESTION: are there some seals that are worn out and can be replaced at the exhaust connections where it is slubbering oil out too. Parts manual doesn't show any.
5) QUESTION: what are is the RPM ranges for the two setting. I will see if I can get a reading with an electronic tach to make sure, it's not just over rev ing.
6) I also thought I better check the pony muffler for clogged causing excessive backpressure.
7) I am going to drill a hole thru that dumb pony oil drain plug on the lathe and tap the end for 1/8" NPT so I can attach a length of pipe and valve so you don't have to drain oil all over the top of the big motor too.
