966 is a smoker

Posted by Rich's966 on January 07, 2005 at 10:05:22 from (66.187.39.195):

Here"s a question for the diesel folks. I just bought a 966 with 4300 hrs on it. It looks to be a little neglected. It was about 8 degrees the morning I picked it up. I hit the switch and with just one very small shot of ether it started right up and kept running. Immediately I thought I got a good tractor BUT WOW - IT SMOKES! I let it warm up to where it was hitting on all 6, which took a little while, then let it warm up some more to where I had some heat in the cab and it cleaned up quite a bit but it still smokes (blue)quite a bit more than other 66 series tractors we had but no doubt this one starts better than others we had. Is it bad injectors or what? Itlooks to have a rebuilt fuel pump on it. I assume if the engine was bad it would not start nearly as good as it does. Any ideas would be appreciated.
