cold weather and diesel fuel??

Posted by dave2 on February 02, 2012 at 10:17:17 from (139.139.35.70):

Hey folks,

10 degrees and windy today and I made it thru without an electric suit :roll:

Anyway, tractor started right up and was fine but I noticed it surging(??) a little when I was climbing a few hundred yard incline on the road... Maybe 15 mph and 1900 rpm and you could tell a slight surge like a governor working but barely noticeable. I get fuel straight from the gas station so have winter diesel in it. Book says that the best operating temp is 195 degrees but after an hour or so it never went above 140 or so. Just ordered a thermostat, but is running it at the cooler temps gonna hurt anything? No telling how long it has been running cold. Think the higher (recommended) operating temp will make it run any smoother?

Thanks, Dave
