Hello all.
I bought an older Branson 4720H which I believe is a 2007 model. The tractor smokes a lot. Blue smoke but also white. The fellow at the shop I purchased it from (not a Branson dealer) sold it to me as is and thought it might need rings. In going through the tractor, I decided to replace all filters, etc first. It starts a bit hard but runs very good in my opinion. Still smokes a bit when hot. Looks like it might not have been maintained very well. It has 2,900 hours.
In purchasing the filters, etc at the Branson dealership the owner said that I should throughly check the injectors. I asked him if it was possible for it to be injectors as I have always assumed that blue smoke was from bad rings or valve seats. He said he has seen several tractors do what I have described and it turned out to be injectors.
So here I am and in replacing the fuel filter I found NO FILTER!! I cannot believe this. Anyway I have removed the injectors and purchased a injector tester. Does anyone know what pressure the injectors are supposed to pop at? The engine is a Kukje A2300N2-H. Licensed by Cummins in Korea.
Any suggestions will be helpful.
