Okay clear up my thinking here. Tractor is a Kubota M6800. I have owned it about 8 years. Its been a good machine but has slowly gotten harder to start. If you get on it and just turn the key it will barely turn over like the battery is dead but using the glow plugs for about 30 seconds will allow it to fire right off. It has gradually taken more time on the glow plugs. Even now in the warm weather, it will take 20 to 30 seconds of glow plug use. Its the same even after the engine is warm. You can run it for an hour, shut it off, then go to restart and have to go through the same starting procedure you do when its cold.
So am I having
battery problems-- a new battery didn't seem to make any difference
battery cable problems -- they are clean at the battery, no corrosion
starter problems
something else I am not thinking of
Thanks for all ideas.
