I believe there are o-rings that break down. Check with an injector shop. They may be able to cross match the parts. I had this problem in my duramax. I haven't noticed it in my ford 1210 yet.

Thanks again.

Keep in mind, when an injector is rebuilt, ie: replacing the nozzles, the assembly MUST be pressure tested and MUST be adjusted to the correct opening pressure. Also, a CLEAN work area is a MUST also.
Find a reputable diesel shop do this work.

My tractor sits a lot but is in great shape. It's a 1984 Shibaura (Ford) model 1910 3 cyl diesel.

It starts but is reluctant to do so. Takes about 20-30 seconds of cranking (after 10 seconds of glow plug warm-up) when cold to get it to catch. The other day, while I was using it and the engine was up to temp, I noticed it puking "watery" oil out of the breather tube that goes to the head cover. Checked the dipstick and it was way over full of the watery oil.

First, what's likely wrong? I won't start it again until I change the oil, but I need to find the root cause.

Second, what's a good source for parts like injectors? I see lots of 20-series parts online, but not much out there for the 10-series.

Thanks in advance.
