[QUOTE="Ouachita, post: 1779394, member: 16802"] 0W-40 is a new one on me. My 6610 does have a coolant heater. See picture below. It plugs in to a 110 volt outlet. The tractor does not have glow plugs or any sort of key switch activated heater. It does have a button on the injector pump to push in for cold starts. It enrichens the fuel/air mixture, similar (but different) that a choke does on a carbureted gas engine. These help a lot, but my problem seems to be related to engine cranking speed when the temps have been in the single digits or lower overnight. I’ve replaced the starter last year and the battery about two years ago (I had replaced it when I bought the tractor in 2012……it made eight years). Neither made a difference. Doesn’t appear to matter if I’ve had the maintainer on the battery, or if I have booster hooked up. Cranking speed seems sluggish when the oil is cold (below 20*F). [/QUOTE]
