I have a friend with lots of experience in this who gave the same advice

Yes I mentioned in original post that it runs fine on gas.

Tons of white smoke. Tractor shakes like 2 cup jd. My guess is firing on two or three. This is a tractor I’m consideting buying not something I own and can diagnose

Not really and I don’t have service manual

Is it covered in owner manual

Engine runs smooth on gas rough on diesel. Bled all injectors diesel pumping out of each so I’m thinking timing. Thoughts and how hard to time

I wondered f getting the coiling to end at the same point it started would also be a good idea

I’ve been thinking about that and concluded that cutting rings rather than coiling makes more sense. Just an update for everyone that helped upon taking apart I found both packing and vseals. Ive ordered packing but I’m also trying split rubber v seals. I think a problem with the old is that there wasn’t enough seal/packing in there. If I was starting from scratch I’d just put in more packing

I took the cap off and yes I can measure. I suppose I could measure the old stuff I took out. Your explanation is very helpful. Thanks

Anyone have suggestions for what size to order for 1949

I’ll take it apart tomorrow. See what I find

Not looking forward to removing these as they leak really badly. A friend told me that u can buy graphite packing cord and just loosen the cap; put this stuff around the ram and tighten the cap back on. Anyone heard of this and if you have where do I get the packing cord from?

Thankyou

I meant Fram or wix

I’m having trouble getting a new oil filter for my 1949 td9. Does anyone have a gram or six number. Thanks
