Hello Folks,
I found what I think might be a steal on a 641 Ford. The asking price is 1500. Now its not a show winner but it doesn't look bad either. Tires are in great shape. The engine runs like a sewing machine, no smoke, knocks, leaks, etc. The trans shifts good, all the gears work, and the clutch seems fine. Brakes stop well also. After 2 months we put a battery charger on it and she fired right up. There is no water in the oil and the antifreeze looks pretty and green. The PTO works good, and the lift works good also and holds the set of disks on the back up just fine. But whats worrying me is when I pulled the dipstick right there by the pto lever milky oil ran out. How is water getting in there? The tractor sits outside with only a tarp over it. I'd hate to pass this up but I also don't want to split the tractor either. Thank you in advance for any advice ya'll could offer.
