FT-60 Diesel in my oil pan.

if it has a lift pump in the fuel system that is where i would have checked first and i would still change it if it has one

Ditto, lift pump would of been my first check also.

I am not sure what a lift pump is. This tractor has an intigrated Fuel pump and Injector pump. The fuel tank is higher than the engine. I don't see anything else that could be leaking diesel into the engine. It seems everything else is bolted externally. I sure hope this is the problem. I should know something Monday.

I am sure that is your problem. Even if it had a lift pump, it would be external to the engine. I have never seen one that wasnt just bolted to the engine block with fuel in/fuel out line. Seals on the injector pumps go out all the time on that many hours. I dont know if your pump has internal oil reservoir. We had a 9000 Ford in the 70s that held about a quart of motor oil that you changed whenever you changed engine oil. It started out 40W oil and ended up about 10W with the diesel mixture. I suppose that kept the shaft seal lubricated. I dont know if the new tractors have that. I need to really look at my LS and see. Might have just been a Ford thing but Farmtrac looks to be built on the old 200/3000/4000 design.

The guy called today and said it will cost $889.00 to rebuild.

the lift pump drives off the cam shaft yes it is externaly mount but has a cut out in the back of it with a lever sticking out to make it pump if the difram in the pump goes bad it will bypass oil into the crankcase. and if your 9000 was getting diesel into the injection pump case it was the lift pump because that tractor had a sims inline pum
