I've had 2 close calls like that- one hauling liquid manure with a Case 8920 and a Houle 30k tank FULL and got passed on a double blind curve coming out of Chazy, NY. Idiot was on his way to the same farm I was wokring at and I was stunned to see his car there when i got back. Wanted to run...

I'm not an expert. Based on experience with the 2550 and our 93 dodge cummins, I would have guessed its just not making the pressures it needs to anymore and thats why its smoking. I just do not have the time to mess with it. 50 hours a week full time job, in the middle of haying season...

Dealer says injection pump- says they like to overfuel when worn. replacing with deere reman. Had good compression Hydraulic lights also were wonky last year and this spring- he says gauge cluster Very expensive repair. I suspect the times when the lift pump failed took their toll. (once with...

changed out injector 1 to see if anything changed- could see all 4 or 5 orifices were spraying well. did not make a difference, maybe more smoke. Discovered the "new" shutoff solenoid nut is seized and the insides are turning with the nut so I will replace that. Took off return line to tank...

I checked for codes today and nothing on ECU, bit BIF kept flashing 17, 23, 46, 47, 49 and 51 but I could not find those codes on-line. I prbably will end up taking a trip to Bangor and bring the spare set of injectors to get tested and get a set popped for my Cummins as well.

Injectors were not matched or tested. I had a set of stanadynes from pensacola (i think) and it still smoked, thne a set of new ones from Deere and it still smoked. I thought injectors with the wonky EGTs, but cant find a flow matched set. Local diesel shop is 2 hours away. I'll try to have...

we bought this tractor new in 98 and I've done rotella 15w-40 or 5w-40 religiously every season, which is about 170 hours. Only deere filters, no aftermaket. Its a fuel issue, not a engine worn out issue. I just had the oil pan off for a new gasket and the cylinder and rods are immaculate...

That last pic with the exposed threads makes it look like that area has been welded before. doesnt look like a new injury either with the corrded metal. probably could get a good used knotter apparartus and put that in but would do a full set up amd make sure the timing is dead on.

Have a 98 deere 6410 mwfd that is our haying tractor and for the last 3 season it puffs fuel smoke at cold start (yesterday was 70 out) and heavy load decelerating, like coming down a hill with a implement behind it. It has a very subtle "lugging" at idle when cold start and can hear a subtle...
