I finally went to the 1855 to start it for the first time since plowing with it last fall.(plow still hooked up) Started right up after using the glow plugs for about 30 seconds, even on weak batteries...

Got the plow unhooked and brought around the spring tooth so I can start replacing teeth on that- It'll be atleast 2-3 weeks before we can even think of getting into the fields yet...

In the mean time, I suppose I should change the oil in the tractors and get those ready too, those 3 weeks will come and go before we know it!

Don: Just for fun take an oil sample when you change it and send it in. Good P.M. They can tell you if problems are starting. J.

I can tell ya right now it probably has a little deisel fuel in it from when the injection pump had to get pulled last fall, so I'm thinking the test would probably be a little flawed right from the start.

I would be curious to take a sample from my 1600 though. The 285 is still sitting at the shop. They got the engine overhauled but we still have to go and pay for it and drive it home. Might have to use my 1600 on the spreader some (not the first thing I wanna do with my nicely painted tractor) so the 285 can do some heavy labor instead of idleing all the time.

I would still do it. The key item to me is do you have micron sized metal in the oil that you can not see and what kind of metal is it. You know the reason for the fuel. J.

That's true. We have a box of 10 oil sample kits in the shop, although we haven't pulled a sample from anything in a few years. I'll probably start changing oil next weekend.

I bought a 12v re-chargeable grease gun last week for about $50 from Fleet Farm because it was on close out too. Just tried it out yesterday on my 1600, seems to work alright. That oughta make spring maintnace go a little faster...
