Hi Clanger, surging certianly sounds like something is restricting fuel flow to the injector pump. Living in a cold climate we have lots of experience with Diesel fuel turning to jello. I don't think this is your problems as once the 484 is running the warm fuel from the injector return line will keep the fuel from turning to jello. I suspect the same as someone else suggest as ice in the top of the fuel filter.
For some reason the miosture from the fuel tank will flow until it hits the first fuel filter and then it will freeze right on top of the filter restricting the fuel flow. Eventually if the tractor continues to run the warm fuel from the return line will melt the ice and the water can be drianed out of the drain cock on the fuel filter.
Don,t like using alcohol based gas line antifreeze as it is not friendly to seals in the injector pump. Prefer using a little GM ATF fluid in a tank of Diesel fuel. It has a water absorbing property.
Another thought, when you did the engine overhaul, did you have the Stop/Run control rod off the injector pump? If you did make sure when the level is in the RUN position that the lever on the pump is completely against the adjusting screw stop on the pump.

Hope it warms up soon
JB
