Re: oil coming out exhaust
I'm no expert, but have you checked your valve cover? Could be leaking there when running and the fan blowing it back.
If like you say "it's running all right" I would think you'd be running rough and blowing smoke ?

Re: oil coming out exhaust
It's coming out exhaust. It blew about a half quart out in a hour. No gas in oil, No water in oil.

Re: oil coming out exhaust
Certainly looks like oil. Cannot think at this moment of a test to verify that it is oil. One thought is that the exhaust gases are composed of a significant amount of water in the form of steam. Plus other gases.
No doubt it was cold where the tractor was working. A very long shot is that this could be condensed water with carbon in it. But not highly likely.
In my youth, I drove a kerosene burning tractor. After a day of driving without a shirt, my body looked to be heavily freckled from the exhaust droplets. And that was in hot weather.

Re: oil coming out exhaust
I had a similar problem a few months ago. The solution was the top of the oil filter cover. The copper washer was loose as well as the oil filter gasket. The Cub ran well until the number 2 plug grounded out due to the amount of oil in the spark plug lead.
Hope this helps

No! The exhaust pipe is full of burnt oil.

I assume you checked the dip stick and determined that the crankcase was a half quart low and the source of the oil. I say that because the breather cup could be the source if it has gotten water in it.

Re: oil coming out exhaust
If it has actually dumped half a quart of oil out the exhaust in half an hour you have serious engine problems, which would normally result in lots of blue smoke, low power, plug fowling, etc. I am wondering if you are looking at a couple of unrelated things. Black specks on the hood are normal in vertical exhaust tractors, they result from water in exhaust as it warms up picking up pieces of soot stuck to the inside of the muffler and carrying it out to fall on the hood. If they are actually oil drops, they would tend to spread like water drops, not stay as a tiny speck.
The pictures of the oil on the engine reminded me of one I helped out on a couple years ago. The owner did not have an owners manual and had been overfilling the fan on a regular basis. By the time I saw it everything under the hood and from the fan all the way back to the operator platform were solid black from the excess oil in the fan hub and the dirt from the belly mower. After about 10 minutes with the pressure washer he had an entirely different looking tractor. I ran him off a copy of the owners manual before we hauled it back.

If you are not part of the solution,
you are part of the problem!!!
