Diesel surprise

DIM · Jan 21, 2019

When out to see if my diesel tractor would start. "It did" no heater and no starter fluid and 2 degrees out.

Yup they will. It is so much easier on the whole starting circuit if the block heater is used though. Once started they need to run long enough to get up to operating temperature before shutting off.

What is it? Our case 70 series would start at well below zero with nothing. The older 30 series were poor starters.

My 6610 will start down to at least 0 with cold enrichment and thermostart, not happy about it, but probably will start.

My Deere 7810 is by far the best cold starting tractor I've ever had. It will start on the first few revolutions at 0*F. I started it once at -20*F without having it plugged in. It took a few rounds of cranking for 10 seconds and waiting for 30 seconds but it went. I hate to start them that way but it was an emergency. I usually have them plugged in if is below freezing. My 6415 has glow plugs and it will start good if I let them go through their cycle. Now the old 20 and 30 series deeres from years ago - they were a different story.

My JD 4010 wants heat below 50 F. I suppose it loves summer as much as me. I do like that tractor. Raw power.

Wish my d@#n gas tractor's would start good when it's cold their even kept in a 40 degree garage. Got an old worn out cub that thing will start at -7 degrees but won't move because the transmission is froze. Dave F.
