Blow by reroute

[porkchop401]

I have a 1963 Massey Fergusion 65 diesel that the crank case breather discharges in the front bolster area next to the crank pulley.
Is there any reason i couldn't reroute it to the air intake ? This machine has a oil bath air cleaner. The tractor does not smoke but has moderate blow by.

Great machine, had it's younger brother T035 for decades. why are you wanting to reroute crankcase blow by? belt contamination?

It tends to make a mess and I smell it.

why not reroute it to rear of tractor rather than intake?

Many engines dump it in to the intake to reburn with the oil bath air cleaner it would harmlessly clean it up
