I have a 1962 model Farmall 140 that smokes some/not much but tends to push oil out the dip stick tube. My FIL used it to make beds for and cultivate tobacco, corn and garden. Another tractor was used for heavy plowing and discing. So it really wasn't used hard. It starts and runs fine.
Could it be a stuck ring causing blow by and forcing oil out the dip stick tube? Is there a remdy for stuck rings besides overhaul? No compression test yet.
