Hello, looking for a little help, my 65 ford
4000 3cyl diesel just started giving me
trouble all the sudden. A little history the
tractor sets alot, only use it to and the
box blade to move gravel and snow. I do try
and start it once a month and run it for 30
min or so. The injector pump was rebuilt a
few years ago, due to faulty umbrella seals,
but not "retimed?", because the tractor has
always started pretty easy, as long as the
weather was warm. I used the it a week ago
to drag some gravel around for a couple of
hours and everything worked great, started
easy, no problems. Yesterday I go try and
move it, it doesn't want to start after a
few times of me trying, so I give it a shot
of starting fuild, it finally starts, but
looks to be running really rich, due to the
black smoke, then i notice the air breathing
housing on the hood is pushing out air and
oil, which I assume is out of the oil bath
for the breather. So I shut it back off and
trying to research my problem, but haven't
had any luck. Anyone have any ideas where I
should start, I'm really at a loss on what
to call this or what to do, thanks chad
