I picked up a '73 4430 last summer to mow hay and run my feed grinder. He told me it was cold blooded and he was right, it even starts hard in this heat. I added water to the two 6 volt batteries, charged them and cleaned all the terminals, which lead to adequately large battery cables (0 gauge, I think). The starter is a replacement from JD, in the 1990s if I remember correctly.
I have picked up on the steering wheel bump technique to bleed off hydraulic pressure. Since the three point arms settle down overnight, I will be lowering them and leaving them down during start- I hear them rising while cranking and figure that can't help.
Any other suggestions for improvement? I can pull injectors this winter and have them gone through, but would rather leave the head on if possible (heard milling the head improves compression and starting).
Thanks for any input!
