Hi Jimmy,

Yep, I think you're right; a good hard day's work would probably make all the difference in the world with this old tractor since it has been setting idle for so long.

Yesterday, I had the thing running for a couple of hours, shut it off while I was doing other things and then 2 or 3 hours later, I went back and started it again to hook up my mower.

Not a hint of any smoke. It smokes only after it sets overnight and is good and cold.

Back in the seventies and early eighties, I farmed with 282s, 360s and 414s which were all under 3,000 hours; and they worked very hard.

The thing is, they sure didn't ever smoke "blue" at start-up; the fact is, I really had to pull 'em hard to get them to smoke black.

This is what has me concerned and am wondering if the guides might be wobbled out. The goffy thing doesn't spin half a turn before it starts & runs great, so I know it has good compression.

I just dunno.

Allan
