Question What is that smell!

Ya'll,
On my 90 F-350 truck (Diesel) I have been smelling this burnt smell everytime I am pulling a load( from a 10ft landscaping trailer
to a 38ft travel trailer). I have no clue what this smell could be.
We have tested the clutch and it is fine (we think )
What could this be,

P.S The transmission is a manuel

It could be oil/grease on the engine. When you pull the loads, the engine temp is a little higher than normal and it's heating that oil/grease up and it's drifting into the cab. My dad's F-250 does the same thing.
