[QUOTE="John SD, post: 1108887, member: 14713"] Is your block heater actually working? You should be able to hear and/or feel to verify. Also as someone mentioned, if your tractor has an excess fuel control for cold starting , use it. My Ford Majors and x600s have a button to push on the side of the Simms injector pump. Must be a British tractor thing. :roll: :P One thing to keep in mind is NEVER USE ETHER WITH GLOW PLUGS! Don't know if your tractor has glow plugs but there should be something in conjuction with the key or a seperate button to push somewhere. I take it you don't have an owner's manual. If you do, there should be cold starting instructions in it. My Kubota has glow plugs operated by the key. According to owners manual only operate at +5 or below temps. I turn the key partway for a few seconds and wait for the glow plug light on the dash to go off, then start. I'm somewhat familiar with a Case 830. IIRC, 830 had glow plugs since it was a IDI diesel with pre-combustion cylinder chambers. I have no idea about a David Brown 990 which is a totally different animal having little in common with American built Case tractors. [/QUOTE]
