ford 1720

Fired off my Ford 1720 today to do some bushhoging. It idled while I topped of the radiator. Made a short pass in some tall weeds and it started running rough,lost power and put out a lot of smoke. I know very little about diesels. Is this what would happen if injector pump went out? It will start back up but good dead right away.

Fuel filters first. Cheapest & most common. You have time after that to check the expensive stuff.

I had the exact same trouble one time with my John Deere 950.I replaced the fuel filter and that did not help. I then checked the air cleaner. The inlet was almost plugged solid with a mouse nest. I had used it the week before that with no problems. After blowing and cleaning that out. The problem was solved and ran like a champ again.
