I have a 1989 445C tractor with 2012 verified hours. The Ford maintenance manual specifies a 600 hour interval to remove the injectors and have them serviced by the dealer. I have had this tractor for the last 200 hours and six years, and don't know when the injectors were last serviced

This tractor starts easily, burns clean with no visible smoke or slobber, and has great fuel economy. My question; is it necessary to do this service, or wait till I see evidence of injector issues. Tractor's working conditions are part throttle dirt and snow loader and scraper work. I use top tier diesel with PS Antigel additive in the winter and occasional use of PS Diesel Kleen in warm weather.

Wow I completely forgot about that service
20 years and 6800 hours since I replaced them during the overhaul
Guess I better look into servicing them, one does have a little flutter at cold idle
 
4300 hours on my Ford 4610 never touched injectors as they say if it aint broke dont fix it
