Ls 160 new holland skid steer won't start

New holland ls160 skid loader won't start. Doesn't seem to fire
as it turns over but no pop. I have enough diesel thru both
filters. I checked the fuse for the ignition and it is good.

Help!

Any white smoke out the exhaust while cranking? If not no fuel if so cold / not enough compression.

White smoke coming out of exhaust. Now what?

Could be glow plugs. Check for power at the.glow plugs. If 2 are bad will be enough to give ya fits. Replace all if you do.

If you live in a cold climate area I would put a block heater in it. They do wonders for cold starting. Also much easier on the engine,starter and battery.
Check to see if the fuel is liquid or not in the tank. Might also be gelled in the filters. IF they have not been changed I would change them now.
If you have a salamander heater and electric near by blow the heat right under the engine. It would thaw out any fuel frozen problems and warm your engine. Should start then pretty easy. If windy might want something to stand beside it on both sides. Don't get it so close it melts wiring or starts a fire common sense here.

is it cranking as fast as normal? Diesels need to crank faster to start than gas.
