The modest oil in the rocker area is very normal. There is no need for more oil at all. increasing the flow will not fix the issue by flushing the milky oil down, because the oil is still in the engine in that same compartment. The required lubrication is taking place or there would have been severe wear already. Valve guides need little oil. More oil causes coking of stems and oil consumption. that valve cover is an easy convenient port of entry for moisture laden air through that side vent device in the cover. Engines breathe as temperatures change. I lived in Terre Haute and Sealiville for years and understand the humidity and temp swings there. Though not the worst humidity, it is substantial. Indoors or out, things drip with condensation. I would do, as you indicated before, a modification to that vent with a hose to the air intake between the air cleaner and carb. If you do, you will need a filter on the crankcase vent as that will now suck in dirt particles. My 51 GMC pickup has a PCV into the valve cover from the factory. The resupply air into the crankcase is accomplished with a oil bath air cleaner that resides next to the oil fill cap. It looks like it came off of a small engine. Running the tractor periodically until at operating temp is the second part of the equation. Jim

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
