It's referring to the exhaust throttle valve. It is either not working or is out of adjustment. I'm betting it is a bad actuator. But I'd verify power and such before replacing it

I was off in Wyoming chasing mule deer for the past 10 days or so. Hence, I've been slow to respond.

Thanks for all of these comments! They were really helpful. I think all of you focused around the exhaust/regen system and I believe that was the issue.

Before leaving on my trip, I went up to the dealer and told them what all of you had said and told them I needed the tractor fixed because it wasn't going to fix itself. It took them 11 days, but they got it done and delivered just before I returned home. The only diagnosis I have gotten from them so far is "broken connector," which I suspect is the exhaust valve actuator connector .

On starting the tractor last night, it both sounds and smells different and better.

Thanks again.

Good to hear. Sounds to me your dealer needs a lesson on how to take care of a customer. I know we would never treat you like that.

They could have done a bit better the first time I walked in, but I will write it off to being in the middle of harvest season when little 3039r look pretty trivial next to the rigs they are leasing and maintaining for people who are racing mold and rot and bankers right now.

I understand that. I run a service truck for a Deere construction company. We are known for our customer service. Trust me, I've been on the dark side of taking care of a customer. Around here the AG guys are a bit different than us construction guys.
