Black smoke is a sign of POWER.
Next you'll be looking to get a foot of FLAME standing out of your stacks...

:D
yep have seen that one the old girl she runs on a mixer wagon most of the time and she runs at night sometimes and you can just see a little flame coming out to stack. ppppppooooowwwwweeeeerrrrrrrr

239 cu" and rated at 68 HP so she is about dialed to the max for power as natural aspirated diesels run about 1/4 HP per cubic inch at 1800rpm. Probably making rated power at 2200rpm which is 122% over the 1800 rpm number . This would make for approx 73 gross HP the max practical for those cu" and natural aspirated.
The Dubuque/Mannheim engines do have an excellent high cross flow cylinder head that breahs "better" than a Waterloo engine .
If the intake and exhaust are not restricted plus injection timing is advanced up to spec . Check that the coolant stat is working and keeping the coolant at 195F.
In all probability she is working just fine . My 1640 is of the same era and uses the same engine de-rated to only 54 pto HP. She will make a little bit of visible black smoke when fully loaded .

i have a chamberlain 3380 which has 5800 hours and it smokes very bad when working but clear as day when at idle and at high rpm with out load.
has a cav lucas pump
new injectors
i am thinking that it may be the fuel adjustment
than one got any ideas
Was recently working on a JD2210 bi annual maintenance, non turbo.
Changed oil, replaced filters etc, then upon run up it would only get to 2200rpm, any higher or under load it would start puffing out black smoke.
Digging deeper, I read about running it without air filters to troubleshoot, low an behold it ran beautifully. What I realized in there are two levels of air filters in the box. A primary paper, but there is also an inner finer filter ( which in guessing was original), totally clogged. Got a new inner fine filter, also replaced fuel filter.
After replacement of all "4" filters, oil, fuel, 2air. All runs like new. Hope this helps someone out there.
Essentially in my case, the clogged filter was restricting air flow at high, rpm/torque thus running super rich.

Well, that's the beauty of your modern computer-controlled common rail diesel .... very little to no diesel smoke.

Older style mechanically injected diesels with their individual injectors find it hard to avoid a puff of black smoke when the load changes. Us old tractor guys put up with the occasional puff of smoke for the sake of simplicity and reliability.

Black smoke is just incompletely burnt fuel. It's not more power, it's lost power. With a little experience It's easy to minimize or fix.

Thanks rScotty I didn't know that. Ya learn something
new every day.

I can remember when chopping hay with an IH 100 HP
going up a hill it would belch out some black smoke but
that's the only time I can remember that it did that.

My 1435 & F935 diesel mowers both smoke black going up a hill in high grass. I believe the governor is calling for more rpm but its falling behind, hence a constant, full, fuel load is being delivered but not helping the rpm. Once the rpm comes up, they are fine. so: torque related: cut the losses sharpen blades, or raise the combustion rate works on them. even tire pressure.
