The 800 series never had a diesel engine. They had also stopped making the 800 series before 1958, so it sounds like it is an 801 series diesel tractor. White smoke could be coolant getting into the cylinders, possibly from a blown head gasket.

White smoke from the early Ford diesel’s was a common issue usually from compression
My last one hazed at idle hot or cold, but it started easy and ran good so why mess with it

Quit spending money trying to fix the skeeter/yellow jacket repellent system. Yes the compression is probably a little low as old as it is. My 851 has been that way since I bought it 30 years ago. I don't see the point in spending more to rebuild the engine than the tractor is worth. JMO
