    Well I have a Case ih Maxxum 100 x-line that seems grand driving on flat ground but on hills she looses power and I was wondering what would be causing the problem she has oil going into where the coolant should be I think it’s the head gasket gone but not sure would this be the problem ??

    If the head gasket is gone you're going to be down on power. I'd get that repaired first

    Id be saying to check filters and make sure theres nothing in the tank blocking the pipe.. Head gasket is a possibiltiy for the oil and water mixing but if theres a water cooled oil cooler in it it may be another possibility

    White smoke could be a number of issues, does it get worked much or is it just tipping around a yard most of the year? Could be glazed cylinders, lack of compression etc etc.
    As to the cost of the hg, I'd be trying to figure out what caused the failure before making good, are all the water/coolant ways clear, radiator clean etc as nothing worse than having to do the same job twice.
    I'd not be using it much either if you've got oil in the water, you'll have water in the oil and that'll cause more damage and expense.

    I'd hazard a guess of approximately 400-600 for the hg repair.
    Don't know if it needs to be skimmed and some heads can't be.
