My IH 782 with replacement KT17 II sometimes have faint smoke coming from the breather tube area. I only see it if I open the hood and look for it.
I wonder if this is the same thing that's happening to you.
I can't tell if it's coming from where the breather tube goes into the engine or if it's coming from the jug/head area. It has done this with both 15w40 and 30WT Amsoil synthetic. The engine doesn't seem to be running hot or leaking oil/fuel. It also idles just fine.
It has been doing this ever since I picked up the tractor this past winter. I've put around 20 hours on it.
