When trying to start in cooler weather, it makes no difference using the glow plugs or just cranking on it takes the heart out of the batteries on each start. I mean they are just about down to nothing when it fires. About 12 times starting like this & the batteries are gone. So I started using either/starting fluid cuz @ 200 a pop for batteries it was getten pricy. I have moved the batteries to the front of the tractor to make the cables as short as possible but still takes all the batteries have to start. OEM starter has been rebuilt this helped a little, am going to change starter button as this may help also. I am thinking about going to a gear starter to increase cranking speed & decrease amp draw. The tractor will some times set for a few days without being started. Maybe I should just install a block heater & forget my troubles. But pluging in when only down to around 35 degs just doesn't seem right. When the temp is around 60 the 3444 fires right up. The engine is a diesel BD154
