Pulling with a IH656

[skyharborcowboy]

I was just thinking today how do you pullers know when you guys have pushed your engines to their limits? I havent noticed many EGT gauges on tractors so how do you guys gauge how much you are working your engines? If you have put a gauge on your engine what temps are the upper limits for a stock IH656 Diesel?

If you havent put a gauge on do you look for how much black smoke is coming from the exhaust?

Thanks,

Joe

When you see a small cone of fire in the black smoke out the stack you are at the limit.

When the rods are hanging outside of the block.....you might have gone a little to far..
