I recently noticed my coolant was contaminated with an oily substance. I drained it out and put in fresh coolant. After a short time, the coolant was again contaminated. The crankcase oil shows no signs of contamination and exhaust smoke appears normal. The tractor runs and operates fine otherwise. I figure the headgasket is leaking some combustion products. At least that would appear to be the obvious reason.
Anybody have other thoughts?
Bill...do you have a headgasket for this machine?
BTW Bill...thanks for your ongoing helpful posts on this forum.

Yup. Even though that alone is not conclusive, it does suggest head gasket. I don't suppose that thing has a temperature gauge? Because another symptom would be that it runs warmer that usual.
