The oil change has saved the engine from a broken rod through side of block incident- for awhile. Seafoam in oil probably got some oil film to bearings, the gas treatment got a bit to valve guides, Lucas oil treatment got some extra additive to oil so you did see less smoke, likely rings seating a bit, oil getting into ring grooves. New oil filter, check oil bath air cleaner for mud and birds nests, get ready for another oil change- the 10-40 is cleaning out some more crud that should be flushed when hot. Early Diesel spec 15-40 Rotella or Delovac with zinc additive for flat tappets and extra detergents may be useful for next oil change. Work it some, let it play in dirt with a 2 bottom plow or disc then drain oil. If you have the clearance to get to oil pan- take it off and clean mud from bottom, check rod bearings for slop. Have fun, have some GoJo or other cleaner ready(Simple Green good) , 1/2 bucket of rags handy. Next thing to check is tranny- don't be surprised if water drains first or a real mud mix. Deferred maintenance is common problem with old tractor that can run a long time while being abused. RN
