Hey guys, I have a late 60s ford 5000 diesel and the other day was pulling a disc through my pastures. Outside temp was low 40"s and blowing here in TX which is not anything considering this tractor does square baling work in the middle of the TX summer. So nonetheless I got off the tractor and went to fill it up with diesel and do the usual maintenance i do (grease and check the oil) and I pulled my dip stick and was shocked to see my oil bubbly and non existent on the dip stick. I let the tractor rest for 15-30 minutes pulled my dip stick again and the oil level was right but there was still some foam in it. I know its not water as I have sunk trucks mud bogging and know how it turns into a milk shake. Nor was any white sludge from oil and water emulsification anywhere on the dip stick or the base of the filler cap from water evap. the oil was uniform in color and did not have any jelly fish in it, nor did my coolant have any black little blobs in it. I went ahead and changed my oil just now and went to Rotella 30 vs the Dello 15w-40 I"ve been running. Let the tractor drip out over night and then filled it up after the filter change, fired it up to circulate it. Shut it down, pulled the dip stick, and its aerated again with fine bubbles in it. Any ideas and will I blow this thing up running it? It"s that time of the year where I really need the damned thing and am in a bind without it. Thanks

Today's Featured Article - Restoring a John Deere 2010 Diesel Tractor - by Jim Nielsen. Following seven years working in California's Silicon Valley, my wife, baby son and I moved back to Australia to retire. We bought a small 'farm' of about 50 acres near Bendigo, in the state of Victoria. I soon found that it would be very useful to have a tractor around the place for things such as grading our long drive and brush-hogging the fields. I was also embarking on planting 1000 eucalyptus trees, and hence I would need a ripper, small disk plow, sprayer etc. to get these things accompli
