It is a New Holland L555 deluxe skid steer with a Kubota V1920 4 cyl diesel. I've been reading, and yes, the book says 20 to 45 seconds on the glow plug button. I think I've not been waiting long enough. A friend has a 2002 NH skidsteer and it takes about 10 secs on the GP.

I think that some of the fuel in the tank is old- it was largely empty when I got it, but I added 5 gals of fresh. The manual talks about summer mix and winter mix diesel. It suggests adding 10% kero for cold weather. Maybe this is just a fuel issue.
