I change injectors on White 2-155 and try to fix stuff
I changed the injectors in my White 2-155. It has been smoking quite a bit at idle. I bought the two hole injectors for a LDS-465 Hercules Army Truck engine off of eBay. They were supposed to be tested and NOS.
It seems to run better, less smoke, but I get an occasional engine miss. I asked a couple young fellows who work on diesel engines a lot and they think it is the injector pump. They suspect Bio-Diesel. The suggestion was to fill the filters up with Automatic Transmission fluid and run it for a while. The high detergent oil will clean out the injector pump. I tried it and I really don't know.
LDS or LDT465 Hercules, I should check the engine tag. The LDS is the engine you want as it has the extra piston rings. I don't hear a miss in this video.
In other exciting farm news I am attempting to re-plumb the liquid fertilizer on my Great Plains 1500 drill. I have the Center Pivot Hitch and not the hitch with mounting spots for fertilizer tanks. I am limited to 200 gallons as that is all I can lift with 2200lbs of wheat in the drill box.
I am trying to get all the plumbing the same size at 1 1/2" for suction and pressure out. I thought my three way valve had 1 1/2" threads until I started putting everything together. It was 1 1/4" which is not a good size for finding hose. Common hose size is 1 1/2.
The main problem is I have made things complicated by wanting to be able to use the fertilizer pump to load and unload the tank. I should have just bought a cheap Harbor Freight trash pump and paid for a three year warrantee. Then bolted the pump to the drill frame so no one could borrow it.
Somehow there is a way to put this together in a neat and efficient manner!
I will be glad when this election is over. People are waiting to see how to compensate economically and are not spending money. I can see the propaganda stops being pulled just with the lie that Trump wants to execute Liz Cheney. I heard the interview myself and know what he said. I suspect she will win. Must continue the corruption.
