Why, whatever do you mean?

Between us, the three closest neighbors and myself have TWELVE tractors to run only about 500 acres of land!

Of course, one is an 8N which has the fuel system rusted closed and so it doesn't really count.

Even so we all seem to be real good at BUYING tractors and very poor at SELLING them.

Thanks to all of you that replied - I've got a good place to start now.

I will pull the oil pan and pressurize the cooling system to see which pistons are leaking.

Not sure what my next step will be. I usually do not like to use Barr's leak unless it's an emergency - I may have time to pull the head and replace the sleeve or o-ring that is leaking. But - If one sleeve/o-ring is bad it seems like the others can't be far behind, so if I'm going to do the work to fix one I should probably fix them all. Is this a safe bet?

I don't want to run it with coolant getting into the oil, but I did want to ask - worse case will I damage the bearings if I run it this way?

Maybe the best bet is to try Barr's leak and use the tractor, then schedule it for a rebuild over the summer once the plowing is done.

Worst case will be if a bearing spins. As you know, water and oil do not mix. So, if water gets onto the bearings, it will wash away the oil. At this point, the bearings get extremely hot and weld themselves to the crankshaft. This will ruin the crankshaft, block, and connecting rods. I know the crankshaft for a 466 is around $1200. Hate to think what a block would cost. If this is a tractor you rely on, get it hauled into your Case-IH dealers shop. Tell the service manager that it's "kind of urgent". It'll be spendy but you might have it back in a week.

Ok - thanks again. I'm going to see how bad the leak is with the oil pan off and may try Barrs leak. If that does not stop it then I'll have to pull it apart and and see what it needs.

I'll post back with my results.

If you have to run an engine that is leaking coolant into the oil be sure to get rid of the antifreeze in the cooling system and run only water. You can drain the water off before starting the engine. Antifreeze will mix with the oil and destroy the lubricating ability of the oil and is more likely to damage an engine.

If the sleeve has been eroded completely through so that the coolant is coming through the sleeve wall, antifreeze will soon cause the piston to score. This can also happen when coolant gets picked up from the bottom of the sleeve with o-rings leaking. A scored piston can come apart and do major damage. I had one where a piece of piston skirt got between the rod and block and pushed a hole in the side of the block.
