Hi Rich,

I'm the biggest "Blue Smoke Whiner" there is. I just can't stand that blue smoke coming from an IH tractor.

But, in this instance, I gotta jump the fence.

At 8 degress temp and that old tractor probably hasn't been worked real hard in awhile, I gotta say give it a chance, 'cause 4300 hours isn't even close to what she'll run for longevity.

Big boys tell me that if they start and run, the top end is okay and if it gets to starting hard, that is when you have to start worrying.

Next spring, take it out and work it hard and I'll bet that old sister cleans right up.

Don't forget to check that bottom end. At 4300 hours, you are closing in on IH diesel's weak point, that being the engine bearings @ 5,000 hours. :>)
