Over the weekend I purchased a 1959 560 Diesel, and have a few questions on it.
It seems to blow a lot of white smoke and misses on a cylinder or two after it is started. When I purchased it I figured this would clear up when it got up to operating temp. So when I got it home I changed the engine oil, cleaned the oil bath air filter, filled it up with fuel and hooked up my 13 ft. JD disk. I spent about 2 hrs in the field with it.
When it is under a load it cleans out and pulls on all cylinders with no white smoke. When the disk is raised out of the ground to trun around it goes back to missing and smoking??
It seems to have plenty of power when pulling. ( I think it might out pull my JD 720D) Just did not know what to check first.
Thanks for any advice!
BTW this is my first Farmall. I have been a 2-cyl JD guy for the last 20 years. I really think I am going to enjoy this tractor when I get it running right.
