Hello all. My name is Evan, and I have a real interest in antique tractors. I just received a 1968 Case 930 CK as a high school graduation gift from a family friend. The plan is to get the tractor running for now when I have time, and when I'm done with school it will become a restoration project. However, there is a problem I'm hoping someone here can help with. I'm new to diesels and somewhat over my head here.
The Case diesel doesn't run very well at all. It starts ok (no batteries so we have to pull start) and idles with a small amount of white smoke. However, it will not rev up. Pulling down the throttle causes it to pour black smoke and bog down. returning to idle will dissipate the smoke but the motor knocks for a few seconds. Also, we think it isn't running on all 6 cylinders, the 2 closest to the driver seemed dead. The tractor hadn't run in 3-5 years when I got it, and who knows how well it ran before.
I cracked the lines and it is getting fuel to all the injectors. I also changed 2 of the fuel filters and there didn't seem to be any water in the fuel. I also added SeaFoam to what diesel was in the tank.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing the problems with the engine, how the issue could be fixed, and how much it might cost? I probably don't have the money now but intend to fix up the tractor in the near future, as it is the first tractor I own. Thank you for any help! If I can figure out how to attach pics to these posts I will.
Thank you to anyone who can shed some light on this issue.Overall, I'm really happy with the tractor, and I got it for a pretty good deal!
