[QUOTE="D2Cat, post: 1109339, member: 19322"] Did you get your tractor fired up? You mentioned it turns over fine, be aware a diesel needs to turn over faster then a gas engine. It has only compression, air and fuel to run; no electricity. The Case 730 and 830 ( and probably others) were indirect injection (as mentioned), and they are much more difficult to start in colder weather. A couple of nights at 20 deg will soak through the iron and cause you some grief. The Case tractors had a manifold heater located in the intake manifold. You turned the ignition counter clockwise one notch for 30 seconds to light it up Using ether to get the engine started can cause a lot of mechanical grief. If you think you HAVE to use it, it's much safer for your engine to have the engine turning over as you spray it into the air intake. The owner's manual suggest removing the oil and storing it in a warm place and pre heat it to 100 deg, then replace just before starting engine. Even has a paragraph stating remove the anti-freeze and warming before starting. Seems foolish to us today, but interesting reading. [/QUOTE]
