Hello folks I just picked up a 59 JD 730 diesel in very nice shape and the person I bought it from told me how to shut the tractor down and described the procedure as pulling the throttle back to low idle then pulling the button on the dash that allows the throttle to come back to fuel shut-off but to make sure that I am depressing the compression release pedal as the engine is stopping, he said to never let the engine stop under compression. I have gone through the Operators manual and they mention nothing of releasing compression during engine shut down. I am not say if its right or wrong because I dont know? Could you folks tell me if this is the correct way of doing it and possibly why?
Thanks much
Karl
