I have the above tractor but it has developed a problem I don't understand. Somehow the the transmission fluid is getting into the engine oil and raising the level way above the full mark.

Does anyone know what might be wrong?

I can't see how transmission oil could get into the engine if everything is standard mechanically. All pumps are after the clutch housing.
Are you sure its not diesel ?
Main thing to look for is a faulty injector, lift pump or internal injector pump fault is unlikely provided the small drain pipe from the injector pump is clear. Only other option is someone over filled it !

No, Power steering pump is in the clutch compartment driven from the gearbox end, no PS oil anywhere near engine oil.
