Hello all...need some help
Have a 1974 White 1370 4 cyl. Diesel. Purchased 2010, has run great. Changed all filters, fluids, usual maintenance.
Past month, tractor harder to start, have to remove the oil bath air cleaner to start. Now, after running 30 + minutes, ( power good ..no issues) I see a little smoke from engine breather tube ( have seen it before in past..very minimal) then the engine losses all power, more smoke from breather and quits with a big puff of smoke from breather tube. No water in oil, antifreeze level good, oil level good, does not appear to be using more fuel than usual. The smoke does not appear as oil (it's not real thick, blue / white) One thing though, when it quits, I "think" the engine feels hotter than usual and the exhaust does not have the usual "diesel" odor, Note, I do not see puffs of smoke from the muffler. Is this a fuel issue???? I think it is but I'm not diesel mechanic
Thanks for listening
Any suggestions are appreciated
