Hi All - I have an early s55 diesel starts ok when it's cool but after running it for mowing awhile it won't start back up until it sits for an hour or so. I can start it if I use some starting fluid (which I'm aftraid to do - I was always taught it was a bad thing ?). I have always had starter issues since buying it it does not have the push starter but was converted to a car type starter with solenoid which has been replaced by me once - becasue it did'nt seem to turn it quick enough. Lately I have noticed that it grinds a bit when trying to start which is about the same time my "hot" start problems surfaced. Any ideas? I like the tractor but I hate starting issues...

Does it show any smoke when hot and cranking? If not, it may be the hydraulic head on the injection pump.
I had an 88D that wouldn't start when hot, unless pulled. The head pumping element was worn and fuel would not pump when hot. After is sat for about 45 minutes, it would start.
I put the new head on myself, but I had quite a bit of experience in engines and I had a shop manual..

Two possible problems resulting in slow cranking speed. 1 Battery(s) and/or connections bad. 2 weak starter.
