I just bought a '41 H. Prior to buying it I did all the due diligence I could and everything looked fine. The engine ran strong, no smoke, the shift box was nice and tight, the tin was good. After getting it home and driving it around the block for the neighbors, I drained the oil. Lo and behold the first pint out of the pan was green! So I have a possible radiator-fluid-in-my-oil problem. I'm new to Farmall's, so I'm looking for some sage advice on what I should be concentrating on. Here's my plan as it now stands: 1. refill the block with oil and run for a few hours 2. drain oil and look to see if its got anti-freeze in it 3. If yes, pull the head and replace the gasket 4. If I still have anti-freeze after replacing the head gasket, pull the engine and go looking in the block 5. rebuild the engine I'm curious to know if the water jacket and oil galleys in the H engine are close enough to have a crack through one to the other. All experiences and opinions welcome... Art
