I have a JD diesel engine that blows white smoke going down a hill. When I start back up the hill it clears up and runs fine. The engine does not use any oil. What should I look for??

I always attributed white smoke to unburned fuel to start with. It can be other things but unburned fuel is most common I think. You will see it when cranking before it starts. If you had white smoke all the time and it was hard to start I would suspect a compression problem But just down hill I don't know weather that is a worry or not.

Is the coolant level steady?

That was one of my thoughts.. I drained the fuel filter several times >> that didn't help? I put a new filter on the tractor >> that didn't help? I did not see any water in the fuel when I opened the drain.
