Best Way To Haul My Broken Down Tractor

If it's inside overnight, whatever froze up - either breather or crankcase filter - may have thawed out.
Check the oil for coolant, if you see coolant in oil - stop.
If not, top it off, and start it up.
Let it get up to temp.
Your problem may have fixed itself.
If it was outside in the freeze; get the shop to put a torpedo heater pointing under cab, half hour or so.
Make sure oil/coolant is full.
Then try it.
Let us know the results.

 

Rent one.

 

It was -30 I disconnected the vent pipe at a joint closer to the rnhine heat, topped up the oil, and drive to a warmer place! The vent just got too much sludge mixed with some condensation and froze. The crankcase needs to vent the pressure somewhere so it pushed it up the dipstick pipe. When the oil is full it's above the bottom of the dipstick tube so it pushed oil out until it's not.
Edit. If you saw coolant leaking you need to pressure test the coolant system and see where it's leaking from. ALWAYS check the reeve point on your coolant before every winter.

 

Just a slight correction, if you don't mind, the bottom of the dipstick tube is usually a minimum of four inches above the oil level this is to prevent oil from traveling up the tube.

 

Somewhere along the line I think Someone must’ve put the wrong dipstick in my M11. When I took the pan off to roll in new bearings it was obvious the crankshaft was in the oil when the oil was topped up

 

O yea when you put in the correct amount of oil and run it for a few min. then put a full mark on the dip stick so you know when to add oil?

 

so they proved to you that there was coolant in the oil?
