I've had my 706 diesel for a few years now and never had much load on it as it is used for snow removal and loader work. But I will be using it in the close future to run pto attatchments and notice the fuel or throttle lever seems out of adjustment.
When i idle the tractor at around 800 rpm it is no where close to the idle pin (or what i assume is the idle pin). It is around 1/2" or more away. And if i crank the throttle it seems to want to rev higher then the tach indicates it should. I have never dared crank it all the way on the throttle for fear it is not being adjusted correctly.
With that said would it be best to try and readjust the whole linkage or is it possible the lever is just not on right?
Also i have never seen this tractor even haze the exhaust under load ( pushing snow or moving dirt) other then when it starts it smokes like any old diesel for a bit. Not that i want it indiscriminately dumping fuel.
Any thoughts?
