The lines that connect to each other, should they be soldered, or do they just friction fit together?

Banjo connections? is that where the return lines are connected to the injector? The return lines come apart quite easily. I wondered if they seal some how when the engine is running. They don't appear to be soldered, how are they sealed? There is no smell of diesel in oil. The Tech @ D&W was saying...

Update: Yesterday (8/16) installed 4 new injectors. Old injectors looked fouled, but not terrible for probably originals. Fired it up & no change. High idle & lots of white smoke. I called D&W Diesel where the pump was rebuilt & I was told that it was probably a governor issue, possibly a spring... ...

Thanks for the reply Brian. I don't have a pre-cleaner water trap. I did turn the engine over & bled out the lines. Tractor STILL blows white smoke & idles high. Speaking w/D&W Diesel (they rebuilt my pump ) I'm thinking it's time to replace injectors. Problem; it's probably a "protected" part & I h...

I have pressed the fuel lift pump lever 2-300 times & I'm not getting barely a dribble to the fuel filter canister. That makes me think the fuel lift p...

I just replaced fuel filter & was about to bleed lines when a torrential downpour started.

I believe my Super Major to be a 64 I had the bottom end rebuilt last year. It has been running like a beast all year. We had a lot of rain & when I went to use it, it revved real high, quick black smoke & then non stop white smoke. I am sure it was low on diesel, & I put fresh 5 gallons w/treatment...

I have parts list & service manual.

I expect to remove oil pan & have a mechanic inspect bottom end; crankshaft & bearings. Any suggestions?

I have a loud knock & I am trying to collect info on rebuilding the motor. I am not a mechanic so simple terms would be appreciated. I have found rebuild kits, & crankshaft online. I want to make sure that I get the right ducks in a row before I start buying parts & attempting to fix this tractor. I...
