crazy thought .......... check your air filter to see if it is frozen with moisture

 

[Ottertail]

Thanks for your quick reply. I did pull the air filter and there was some debries in the evacuator valve that I cleaned out, but otherwise the air filter looked good.

Very puzzled. I just started it and it is running very rough and blowing blue smoke.

From what I could find, it looks like you need to do a regen. That refers to a problem with the exhaust after-treatment.
And that would make sense, cold morning,

 

[Ottertail]

Thank you Firefight!!! I will give it a try!

Negative on the regen, as I cannot get it to adle above 1400 rpm's? Blowing very blue smoke and I do not want to do damage to the tractor.

Any thoughts as to whether this might be fuel realted? Crazy that it doesn't idle well.

If you have a front mount snowblower, the first thing I would do is CHANGE the airfilter, and take the old one into the house to dry out.

Second thing would be to look for fuel problems. Do you have a water separator on that model? Check it for water.

Do you have winter diesel and have you added a cetane booster to inhibit fuel gelling? Fuel clean? Temperature in your neck of the woods?

Type in P3001 into the search box in forum and you will find some old problems, including ones dealing with cold weather kits not being installed. However those were on different models from yours.

Nevertheless, if wet air filter, water in the fuel, or fuel gelling additives don't solve it, recommend you call dealer.

Thank you sheepfarmer. I put in new air filter. Will look into fuel issues and will put in new filters tomorrow morning. I'm thinking it's a fuel issue now. Would you lrain the entire fuek tank? It's full, as of this morning, with low sulfer winter blend.

Thanks for your repy! (I thought I had done the search on the code and came up with nothing. Will try the search again, as well)

And yes, booster additive was added to fuel. 10 degress here in central Minnesota.

Here is the P3001 page from the code manual. Note how the tractor, once this condition is detected, goes into Limp Home mode which then makes you think all sorts of other issues are happening.

It could also have to do with the radiator air flow being plugged and getting too hot.
The WSM has the info on it.

 

[Ottertail]

You gentleman are terrific! Thanks for the direction. I'm going to replace fuel filters today and hope that fixes things. I will report back!

 

[Ottertail]

Well, changed both fuel filters. Drained gas and replaced to full. Still not idling, blowing white smoke.

Not sure what else to do but call dealer tomorrow morning. They are 3 hours away. Crappy way to start out the winter with a one-year old machine!

 

[85Hokie]

When you say "drained gas" you DID mean diesel --- we all say that when not thinking about fuels.

Ok - when you checked the air filter.........did you check DOWN in the throat?

Start it for a few minutes without the air filter on it .......... see if anything changes

 

[Ottertail]

Ha! Yes, diesel Hockie. I will try removing the air filter!

Thanks for your help!

You said - blowing white smoke, a wisp or a good deal of smoke?

White smoke could be several things ...... cold start, should go away after a few minutes, coolant leaking into cylinder, or bad injectors.

With your engine being very new - I would hope not a head gasket problem allowing coolant into cylinder.
I would also think the injectors would not be "bad" in that short of time.

For you sake - I hope something simple is the root cause.

After trying all of the suggestions in this thread, I was able to get the tractor running. I had to bleed the fuel system a bit after changing fuel fiters. Let her run for 30 minutes to warm up. Went and blew some snow and the red engine warning indicator is staying on? I will call dealer in the morning.

Any news?

 

[Ottertail]

Thanks for the reminder S-G-R. Had every intention of updating this thread and the work week got away from me.

Not sure all is ok, but the tractor is running and not blowing smoke, once warmed up. We have had highs at -10 all week, so haven't blown snow. After snow yesterday, will have to get out today to blow, so we'll see if all goes well. Still -10 highs until Sunday...

brrrrr
being that cold, do you block off a bit of the rad to get the engine to stay 'medium hot' or whatever is 'normal' ? I see a LOT of semis cover their rads when it gets k-k-k-kold......
