I bought a case 380ck that has the David Brown 885 3 cylinder diesel engine at auction a few months ago. the tractor was in great shape
except the engine was locked from not being ran for over 20 some odd years. I freed the pistons and put new rings and rod bearings in as well
as replaced the head gasket. Now that I that i have the tractor back together it spins great and tries to start but all i get is a bunch of
white smoke i have tried for about a week now to get to fire off but with no luck. i have made sure the pump is bleed and the injectors are
spraying properly. i the only other thing i know to try to to pull start it which is sketchy with the hydraulic steering. so any help on
this would be great this is the first time i have messed with a David Brown engine so not familiar with all their quirks.
