A friend of mine bought a 770 Cockshutt diesel sight unseen. I got it running and used it a little bit this spring to plant some soybeans. The thing runs pretty good, starts great for an IDI diesel. It does have two issues, one I know how to correct and the other I am looking for input. First problem is oil pressure, it has barely 5psi at idle when warm. That's the easy one. The harder one is the thing has a smoking problem. I don't think it's low on compression because it will start in the upper 30s with no intake heater and not being plugged in. Actually the best starting Oliver of that design I have ran. It doesn't burn any noticeable amount of oil. I planted 20 acres with it and ran it on a 7ft brush hog for about 10 hours and the oil level still hasn't changed. So I am thinking it may be an injection issue? Here are the two symptoms that I have noticed
1. It smokes constantly. Just a steady blue haze coming out the exhaust
2. At high engine speeds not under a load it seems to have a flutter, almost like a miss but you do not feel it in the driveline, only hear it.
So from here just trying to gather ideas of if when we do the bottom end should we do a complete rebuild? Should I try pulling the injectors and get them redone? Are injector parts still available? Should I pull the energy cells out - could there be anything wrong with those? Any other ideas? Like I said it seems to run decent, drives great, just needs some TLC.
Here is a link to NewAgTalk that has some pictures of it, I couldn't get any to post here for some reason.
