Hello all. I have a 04 Case MXU 110 that Smokes blue as soon as it starts. It clears up with high throttle, but smoke starts again as soon as I throttle back down to idle. The tractor sat for 5 months before I bought it. The oil was also 3/8 over the max fill on the dipstick. I just changed it with the correct amount, but it still smokes. Tractor has about 6,000 hours on it. It also cranks over more than it should before firing up. It runs good and strong. No noises, skips, anything. Any ideas?

Blue smoke is usually an indicator of oil consumption.
Keep an eye on your oil level. If there’s blue smoke and the oil level doesn’t drop, you might be getting diesel fuel in your oil.
Wonder if all that sitting caused seals to dry up and fuel or oil getting by them…

Thanks for the reply. I changed the oil two days ago, pulled a 15 ft harrow over 3.5 acres. Checked today and the oil level remained perfectly between MIN and MAX on the dipstick.

You could instead of using like 15w40 try a straight 40W
if you use your tractor in the winter you wpi;d need to change
to a multi grade oil

Might not be enough hours to really tell.
Did it smoke blue while you were harrowing?

I doesn't really smoke under load.
