Help! Diesel won't crank.

Posted by Frank Richardson on October 04, 2004 at 20:53:15 from (64.63.216.236):

I"m about to start working on an old John Deere 730 diesel. I have been told by someone else who tried to start it that they couldn"t get it to start. I haven"t tried it personally yet.

First off, how are the batteries suppose to be connected? I took the old one"s out and forgot if they were connected in series (+ & - of the batteries connected together) or parallel?

Second, what should I look for? I mean I thought a diesel was pretty simple. I don"t know for certain the year yet. Are there glow plugs on this? I don"t even know where to begin.
