I didn't see a year but mine are all stupid and my neighbors blew enough oil to actually start a cute little smoke fire on the manifold, of course he was doing crazy donuts in the field so it was hotter than normal.

I wonder if there's a breather of some kind that may be plugged down near the gearbox itself.

I carry a fire ext or a wet rag in the back just in case.
Junkyard parts like that are prob all in the same condition, eh?

beeee careful or add comprehensive to your insurance.

What, the little O ring? The tube just bolts on, take it off and replaces the o ring.
