I get where you are going here but wouldn’t the smoke be black and not bluish if it was running rich/burning fuel? I I saw posts of other members that did the dpf delete and did not notice more smoking which leads me to believe my tractor has an underlying issue. But also like I said I’m new to...

I made new flanges and all so it will bolt right back on and look stock. Also both sensors still hooked up, so will be logging exhaust temp and that filter isn’t clogged. I just plugged the differential sensor but actually installed the exhaust temp sensor in exhaust.

Agreed. I don’t not believe exhaust mod caused smoke. I just now notice it without dpf covering it up. Hoping to find root cause.

Hey All, I have a 2018 3515R. I just went ahead and did a DPF delete (replaced the DPF with a muffler). Everything went fine except I notice blue smoke from my exhaust now. See pic of my new exhaust setup and smoke at 2500 RPMs. More details below. At startup some smoke but clears up for the...

See image. Have 50hrs on my 3515R and it appears there are some small black chunks in the fuel filter bowl. More importantly it looks like there is a large red o-ring in the bottom. No running issues. I was going to remove and take apart to see if I could put o-ring back, then I realized it...

Ok, so I removed the only hose I could find that went between valve cover and intake manifold. It was a 1” OD tube that had no filter in it. Looks clean. See pics. Let me know if you think it’s something different otherwise I’m gonna call it good.

Hi all, My Branson 3515R manual says to clean the breed pipe after 50 hours. I am not able to find in the manual or on the internet what the breed pipe is or how to clean. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Nick

Alright guys, after a lot of research, test driving, and all of your guys help, I ended up getting the 2018 Branson 3515R tractor. I had them load the rear tires prior to delivery. Attached is a picture. Why did I get it? - Cost - 17,900 for a new tractor is hard to beat. I had a firm budget of...

Hey Guys, I found a tractor I'm interested in purchasing to replace my MF TO35. See below. My main concern and hesitation in going through with the sale is part availability for Branson. Can anyone share specific places/sites you have found parts for Branson and share your thoughts? Branson...

I own a ‘56 MF TO 35 with a loader and am considering a newer (preferably used due to cost) compact tractor. The loader for it is way too large and no amount of ballast fixes that, no power steering, no 4x4, and feel like it’s a ticking time bomb before more stuff breaks. I have 6.5 acres of...
