        Have you ever cleaned the injectors?  Do you run injector cleaner in your fuel? 

        How fresh is your fuel?

        Just a few thoughts.

          The fuel is fresh, but I have never cleaned the injectors. I do not run injector cleaner in my fuel. How hard is it to clean them? What is a good injector cleaner to run in your fuel?

            The white smoke is unburned fuel from a cold combustion chamber. You could have dribbling injectors (pintle and seat are dirty), you could also have a dirty air cleaner. I recommend taking the injectors to a diesel shop for cleaning.

            Did this happen all at once or grew progressively worse over time?

            Do you notice any loss of coolant or cross contamination with the lube oil?

                New injectors are around $ 50.00 each, I have found that diesel injection shops will charge alot more than that to clean and adjust the injectors,plus your time and fuel to take them, pick them up.On the chinese tractors I think it's less cost just to replace them, this does not hold true on the Cat, Perkins,Cummins,ect. because those injectors cost $$$$$$$$$$.

                  cant see this being a injector problem, white smoke is lack of compression.

                  what engine do you have.

                  im guessing its a direct injection engine as you expect it to start with out glow plugs.

                  if you do a compression test, you need to have 550psi min.

                  if not its a head off job.

                  i would like to know what engine you have.
