Hey folks, (tractor details in info block on modern view)
Same tractor that had all the past problems with oil leaks, etc.
Tractor seems fine now as far as oil/hydraulic oil. No slobbering or other leaks. Still loosing coolant. Starts like a champ after about 5 seconds of glowplugs but sputters a little and pumps out white smoke for the first minute or so then all is well til the next cold (or after setting an hour or so) start. No oil in water or water in oil, but could it be that my headgasket is leaking between the water jacket and cylinder a little?Or, since it's not building pressure in the cooling system (that I know of) could it be something more serious (if so, what?) ?
Thanks for any tips,
Dave
