Is it possible that an injector is dropping fuel on the piston at all times and not closing all the way? I understand that blow by is in what causes what we see in the crankcase, but why does it smell like raw diesel?

Copy that!

I’m pretty good mechanically, but I don’t want to buy this and then be into it more than it’s worth. I should clarify, warm up was about 2 minutes. Plenty of white smoke. Doesn’t smell sweet and doesn’t have the scent of coolant. I’m kinda wondering if the rings are stuck from sitting. It...

I should add that it only has 746 hours on the clock

I am looking at a tractor for my son, this little New Holland is about the right size for a teenager and has enough safety features that I feel comfortable with him on it. It runs and drives, but after warmup it starts to blow white smoke out of the road draft tube in a bad way. It smells like...

I have, what I think, is a MT 6000 transplanter with a carousel for dropping the seedlings into the furrow. Today we put in 800 sweet corn 1.5" x 1.5" cells and we had some trouble keeping all the plants upright. When we lowered the cutting depth of the machine, the carousel would not feed the...

Update: I was able to use the sprayer for my first oil dormancy spray this past weekend. Worked great. It took a little doing to get the nozzle rate dialed in. I had the best luck with TeeJet orifice discs D3 at waist height, D2 higher up. I had to take the Cone Jet nozzles out due to using...

Update: Weather in the area was in the upper 40's last night so I was able to install the new piston cups and assembly. Someone on here, I believe Seven Gables, mentioned boiling them to soften them up. Worked great. I used my old Coleman camping stove, an old pot and dropped them in. They...

Those are really close, I am just NOT ready to drop $30 a piece for 18 of them.......I also like bringing back some old things back from the dead. (As you guys already know). A question I do have is the replacement diaphragm. I see them in a variety of lbs. Is the lbs the PSI that the check...

The units below are what I would love to get and install...

I am currently using these units...

Bump

A couple more questions to men with experience. 1) I really like the idea of using brass bodied diaphragm check valves. There isn't a lot of information that I can find on buying them or rebuilding old units. I found this eBay listing where they are offering TeeJet 975B brass body parts. I...

Asian units have yet to arrive, I anticipate a month or so.

They are pretty darn stiff. Not sure if that is from age or that is how they are.
