HI, I have a long 445. I recently completly washed out the fuel system and changed all filters. It was running better that it ever had before. But now it smokes like crazy(white smoke)and produces what looks like creosote or tar in the exhaust system. Its so bad that when you try to drive it, it sprays tar droplets over everything, clothes, cap, glasses, etc. Its like being rained on by tar. Anybody have any idea whats going on? Thanks. tom

PS: a year or so ago I drove it in high gear about a quarter mile and it started blowing out big flakes of burning sparks, and then the muffler caught on fire and burned like a blast furnace(chimney fire). I shut down everything I could and just prayed the entire tractor would not burn up. It didn"t. I replaced the muffler, but the new one is completly fouled with the creosote/tar like substance. Help.

Could be your thermostart (manifold heater). Take the hose connection off the intake manifold. Look in the manifold. Should be dry. If you see a puddle of fuel, that is your problem and the heater needs replaced. If you need one email me.

Longs are dirty running tractors. I have been using them for over 20 years. I have the similar conditions with my 445 and 360. Much of your droplets comes from condensation in the muffler before the engine heats up. If you are not working your tractor long enough to heat it up, carbon will build up in it. When my tractors are cold, they do smoke a great deal, but get them warm and put a plow or disc behind them and open the throttle and they clean right up. You may be only using yours for light jobs or for short periods of time. When my tractors reach operating temp. the exhaust clears. You might want to check your thermostat. I have 180 degrees in mine.
