Fred, I think an idle for a reasonable length of time would be sufficient. I must add that where I live and farm is rather temperate, and the cooling down was not as big a problem as they experienced in the Snowy Mts. with the TD24s. The tractors we had most experience with in this area were WD9, WD6, TD14, TD18 & TD9. Our 6 series Dozers were more likely to be the British BTD6. One more point in the cooling down procedure, I was always told to switch them back to Petrol mode and run them for a while to help "clean" out the Auxilliary combustion chamber before shutting down. When the engine had stopped, it was important to put it back on Diesel mode to help the Starting valve cool slowly and prevent it from distorting. Regards, Redfan.
