80C0892 is a 1957 build with Direct Electric Start.
Usual cause of fuel in the oil is a leaking filter tower to injection pump fuel gallery 0-ring seal.
Interesting that Peterson Tractor had their own serial number tag put on that machine, wonder if it was from new or part of a rebuild.

Hi, Josh.
Since the original serial number tag indicates a Chile build, I suspect that the Peterson tag would be a rebuild.
Just my 0.02.
They weren't built in Chile, just where the trademark was registered.
Correct, it says right on the top " Made in United States of America "

Hi, Old Magnet and Rome K/G.
O.K., gotchya but................ I still suspect that the 'Peterson' tag is from a rebuild as I have never seen a ser. # tag with a dealer name on it on an original machine.
Just my 0.02.
Thanks friends!! Great info!! Yeah I think the engine was replaced also. With the Peterson number tag. I found that interesting also. Is that gasket number 4f5148? Also might replace the fuel filters part number 7b8264?
