Contractor I worked for a long time ago had a Cat D5 that would blow smoke rings starting on a cold day. Took about a whole can of ether to get that bitch running in the winter.

A terminal manager once told me that smoke rings could be from a bad injector.
Not sure he wasn't talking about a warmer engine, though.

I know it's fine but I grit my teeth when I hear any diesel "hammering" like that. Hearing any of the newer stuff will make you think the old stuff is gonna kersplode at any second

How cold is it Sam? You guys ever plug them in? Stone, it was -20F this morning. Tractor was plugged in all night. We rarely use that machine when it's cold as it has always been a hard starter. Only reason we ran it today was to feed a hay grinder. It takes two tractors to keep up. My dad was running a JD 7510 and my 7610 is hooked up to a processor so the old 4450 got the call. Today was probably the last time I'll run it as we recently traded it off. Replacement tractor isn't here yet.

Quite common to those of us accustomed to running old schit. Jim, I just can't recall our old 4250 or this 4450 ever doing it? Hell if I know.

What weight oil are you using Sam? I feel sorry for diesels that have to be started in cold weather. They like heat, up to a point.
I'm running Rotella T6 5-40.. Anson, that machine has 15w-40 in it. Our other year round use tractors and pickups all have T6 5w-40.

Sorry about the semi misleading title. I also am a fan of the liquid Cold Smoke, they will buzz your ass quick....lol I still can't remember ever seeing the engine induced smoke rings. Side note, it's 50 degrees warmer out now than yesterday. Which is good because I feel like absolute chit and don't feel like getting off of this damn couch...lol ![[Linked Image from hosting.photobucket.com]](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/e78/montanasam/20220120_094727.jpg)

We fired up the old Cat 944 late one afternoon, and it looked like you could walk on the black smoke.

Sam, I’d never noticed any either, but was in WY this week and fired up the JD we use to feed. It coughed and sputtered for a minute, but then threw some smoke rings and lit off. Thought it was really cool. Tried to catch it on video the next day but the wind was way too bad.

Seems I can recall 70's/80's carb'd gas pickups w/smaller maybe 2" single exhaust throwing smoke rings in the cold.
