Chad I might get beat up here but these are my thoughts about tractors. A friend of mine who was an Allis dealer for 40 years says to put a quart of automatic transmission fluid into the fuel. This does two things. The ATF has an affinity for moisture so it will clean any moisture out of the fuel system. It will also lube the pump. Now I have had success with injector cleaner for diesels. Injectors may be slobering fuel into the cylinder at start up and when the engine reaches operating temp it may seem to run reasonably well,but it is still not misting the fuel. Injector cleaner will clean up the tips of the injector and I have had good luck using it, making a hard starting tractor I have into a tractor that starts very quickly. I also mix a quart of oil in the diesel fuel when I am going to be doing some hard lugging, especially in cold weather. I agree with everyone that a good days work will clean up some problems. I could see a change in my tractor after three or four tanks of fuel with injector cleaner in it. This product is cheaper than pulling the injectors and for less than $10 its worth a try before you get into replacing injectors. I am not suggesting that injector replacement isn't necessary but you could get lucky and correct your problem very cheaply. The ATF won't hurt anything except the moisture in you fuel system. This has been my experience and I swear by injector cleaner. I use it in both diesels I own, even convinced the neighbours to use it in their green 1830 tractors, which now start easier. None of my remedies can harm anything and I figure if an Allis dealer suggests it it can't be wrong. My opinion weighs no more than anyone else's but it works for me..best of luck bringing the beast out of it...Mike in Exeter Ontario
