I am about to buy an IH 364 from a good friend of mine. He has owned the tractor for around 10-12 years now and I ran it for him mowing hay for 3 summers. It will never start cold without the glow plugs. He knows the fellow who bought the tractor new and it has very low hours. I think use of glow plugs when cold is just a nature of this beast. Almost all Japanese diesels I've seen must use glow plugs on cold starts even when new. No doubt, it's not due to all these engines out there being worn, it's something to do with the fuel system and how the diesel "spray" is injected in the intake. I'll bet your BD144 is fine and has been like that since the beginning. By the way, avoid using "starting fluid", buy you some WD40 and it will crank you tractor as well as ether and isn't so hard on the pistons/ring lands. Try it sometime, you'll like it. It works like a charm.
