I recently bought a B6100E with a 42" Woods cutter, disc, and single point plow. This is my first diesel tractor and I wanted it to prepare a garden and some mowing on our 4 acre place. No hour meter, but it started fine, with some pretty heavy smoke from exhaust and crankcase tube, for about 10 times. Ran pretty strong and then sat for a couple of weeks.
Now it won't start. White smoke from exhaust and acts like it wants to but just won't...even with a little starter fluid. Battery is charged and strong and I have cleaned best I could any electric connections.
I had a buddy that is a diesel mechanic give it a look and he checked the compression (250 lbs) at each of the 3 glow plugs and cleaned the injectors. He even tried new fuel but it just does the same thing and won't quite start. He doesn't think it is a fuel issue.
Am I missing something?
My buddy seems to think that the previous signs of heavy smoke and "blow by" means that the engine probably needs to be rebuilt. He has checked around and it will likely cost over $1000. I only paid $2300 for the tractor and the implements so I am not sure it is even worth it.
Anybody have any ideas on what i am missing or suggestions on what to do next?
