Iplayfarmer said:I'm hoping for the injectors since that would explain a lot of issues I've been having over the past few years.
Back before I put in the block heater it would fire up on a single cylinder and then run like that for a half a minute before the other would fire up. It's also been a little hard to start even through the summer. I'd just attributed it to the weak starter, though. The morning before the final death, the tractor was extremely hard to start. I just attributed it to a cold morning (20 degrees) even though it had been plugged in for an hour or more.
I've ordered the injectors and fuel filter from Jim Perlik. When they arrive and when I get some time, I'll get everything cleaned out and serviced and then we'll see how good our collective diagnostics are.

If it brke the injection would be out of time, thus the black smoke and sputtering, because of incomplete burn. Have had a JD 4020 do this and a MF 165 with a Jerkin' Perkin in it.
