[Farmall] Gas in crankcase

[jtchall at nc.rr.com]

With that carb about a foot below the head I can't see it flooding and doing 
that. Someone sabotage it or pour something besides oil in the engine by 
mistake? I agree with others, really worn engine, way too much fuel and 
leaking by the rings?

Hello Fellow Farmall fans and experts!

Can anyone tell me how gas would get into the crankcase of a '42 H?  Is it
possible to get in from the governor/throttle control?

I went to check the oil level on the crankcase and when I opened the
test cock l found oily gas coming out.  I know it's gas because it smells
like gas, doesn't separate like water and oil, and the oily gas ignites.  I
used a paper towel to clean a spot off the floor of the mixture and lit the
towel on fire to confirm gas.

Any thoughts are appreciated. Tractor seems to run ok.

Thanks.

Jerry
