This talk of "wet stacking" and idling jogged a memory. We first ran Dad's three point hitch backhoe with gas tractors. Later, as diesels became predominant, we used them. Seems like more than once, and maybe with different tractors, we ended up with crud oozing out from the manifold/muffler connection. This would have been in fairly decent(warm) weather, tractor engines running up to operating temp., about 1500 RPM. Clearly then, there wasn't enough heat to burn all the fuel. So, how an engine could idle, even at say, 1000 RPM, for several hours, in frigid weather, without gumming up, I don't know! My Ford 655A TLB doesn't do this. Maybe the engine is enough smaller, and the hyd. pump is enough bigger, that there's enough more load on it that it burns clean?
