Read the responses. Had similar problems. Go out and hook your tractor to a plow and pull hard for a couple of hours.

See what happens tomorrow when you try to start it. May be surprised.

For some reason after engines sit, especially diesel, they are hard to start. I'm going to say rings not seating and compression low which is what you are talking about. That smoke that comes out before it kicks off is diesel trying to explode but can't cause the cylinder temp is too low.

After you work them for awhile all the crud clears up and she runs fine.

Have 6 tractors now and all but 1 are diesel. I have experienced this problem several times. Can almost tell how long it has been sitting by how hard it is to start.
