Wasn't sure I would find you on the Jd site, hope the MF people don't mind a "green" question...
I was asked about a JD E series tractor, 200 hours on it, 2 years old and it smokes "blue" when running, blackish upon starting, and when running [180/190 ] degrees smokes blue, idle and loaded, unless really loaded it turns more to blackish.
Service dept send a tech who, loosened the injector pump, twisted it a bit and said to put fuel conditioner in the tank and left. The injector pump turning didn't change the smoke issue, better or worse.
The owner has re-fuelled as needed and is using winter grade fuel now.
Any thoughts as to why it smokes, enough the haze is visable just looking at it from 30 odd feet away, no power loss or other problems.
I agree the conditioner comment should be tried just to make sure, but curious if this common with JD's or what?
Tks
