International D179 Static Timing

I recently purchased an International 2400 with D179 diesel engine. When I went to buy the tractor, I didn't notice any smoke. I had it in my shop for a few weeks working on re-wiring it, adding new gauges, etc as it needed some minor work. After completing this work, now when I start the tractor, it seems to put out a lot of white smoke which increases with RPM. I don't think any of my wiring would have affected the engine but I am not sure.

Is it possible that the person that sold me the tractor did something to alleviate a smoking problem when I originally looked at the tractor but now it is back?

My research indicates that a white smoke problem could be caused by injector timing. I went to the D179 service manual and that very page is missing in my manual. Does anyone have that page in their manual? I spoke with YesterdaysTractor about it and they are missing that page on their master copy.

Thanks for any help.

Before messing with the injection pump timing, do this quick test, after engine has warmed up, turn engine off, then start engine, if engine starts on first revolution there is probably nothing wrong with timing, if engine kicks back on starter, pump is timed to fast, if engine has to be cranked many revs to start then pump is timed to slow. The other possibility is this is a German diesel and they do't like to idle around, take it out and work it hard and then see if it white smokes.

Thanks for the responses. I will warm the tractor up, work it a bit, and see what happens before doing anything else.

A question on where to get injectors and are there more than one made for the D-179? My 484 was suppose to be a 1979 model. It has lost power and bellows grayish smoke, not losing any coolant or using oil. Original injectors at about 4500 hrs.
