Murf saw you made comment on incomplete combustion on another thread and so when is it a problem? My thinking is that soot is as you say incomplete Combustion, but when and engine is cold briefly soot will be emitted as it starts leaving a stain on near by paint, but then not as it warms up. To me this is not a problem.

But my tractor is over ten years old and I have no problems with how it runs. But I have black soot stains where the exhaust blows near some of the frame. My friend who owns a tractor said hey whats that? Soot.

I thought a little bit of soot stains was normal. It does not smoke while running.

Thoughts?

Not Murf here but I love the smell of Diesel fuel ! Little soot markings is fine in my book as long as it is not smoking after it warms up... just my 2 cents ....
