I agree that I have more than maybe a bad injector. Oil in the air intake is my major concern, but that, I don't think, should explain why my fuel filter was pitch black, like if there has been some exhaust carbon in the fuel, after only 20 hrs of changing it.
The only way that I can see this happen is if one of the injector would stick open and some of the exhaust would be force through the open injector and in the return line. But I don't even know if that is mechanically possible. :confused2:mfreund

I would GUESS the black in the fuel filter is unrelated and caused by organisms growing in the diesel. Thanks for keeping us updated!

Hmm! Never though of that. Actually, never seen it and I been in diesel equipment all my life, but I have heard of it before. There must be some kind of test to find out? I will Google it and see what comes out. Thanks mfreund!

That is caused by ULSD.

Correct. But by removing sulphur, they have increased the chances of it, especially if tractor sits for long periods of time.

So if this treated bacteria tuns into sludge and is caught in the filter then maybe one of these could help because you would be able to see it?

Update! Spoke to the service manager on the phone, they made the compression test and the 3 cylinders are down on compression. Next step is find out the cause and call JD to decide if they rebuilt or a drop-in. I am completely puzzle. Kind of expected to see one bad cylinder, maybe a broken ring, but not the 3 cylinders. What the **** happen? Until I get the confirmation from the JD head office that they will cover it, I am nervous. Please put the snow on hold, until I get my green machine back. This is heading in the direction of a long process.

Keep us updated on how JD takes care of you. 300 hours is drop in the bucket for these engines and who could have guessed all three cylinders. Hope you get it back quickly.
