I have just purchased a 1963 560 diesel will not start unless you give it a little starting fluid. I have checked the glow plugs somebody told me to test with power to end of glow plug if sparks it should be good ? or i also tested by upluging them and pluging one on at a time and gauge should go half way up both ways seem to work fine. i have checked for fuel in line to pump seams good ? I installed two new 650cca batteries new cables cleanes all connections.
Hi everybody thankyou for any help . I have recently purchased a couple of farmall tractors new to them so not sure were to go . the 560 diesel dosent want to start unless you give a little starting fluid . Have checked glow plugs a couple of ways first by unpluging them then putting one on at a time and gauge goes up half way which they all do. Also by checking each one with power if they spark should be good which they do.?? Have checked line to the pump for fuel seams good . two new batteries 650cca new cables cleaned all connections.How long should you hold glow plugs on? have tried anything from 30 seconds to 3 minutes. will smoke a little but will not fire with just them . Not sure if starter is turning over fast enough is that a big factor? Frustrated. The 706 has a slight wine from a pump under gas tank but hyd was low and lite on dash is flashing not oil but the other one to the right. Any help very much appreciated Thankyou
