Hi I just got a taskmaster 426e trooper 2004yr tractor, its a dongfeng df254d or a eastwind 254 also, I guess they sold it under many names, but my problem is the p owner told me he was mowing a field and it just died on him, and he just walked away from it, and that was 5yrs ago, the tractor only has 59hrs on it and looks in good shape, but i know im going to have to drop all the fluids and change out the filters, it still has the factory filters on it , I checked all the fluids and there is no water in the oil, the water level is up in the rad, so I put a fresh batt in the tractor and tryed to fire it up, it would turn over but not light up, it did puff out a light white smoke out of the stack and out of the crank case vent hole, I cracked one injector line and got fuel shooting out, also pulled the banjo bolt at the ip and checked the filter in it, then i pulled off the air filter and put my hand over the rubber hose comming off the intake were the filter mounts and it almost sucked the skin off of my hand and collapsed the rubber hose so it felt like it had commpression, does anyone have any ideas why this thing wont start, its a yang dong y385t, any info would be great thanks
