Wardner said: (quoted from post at 23:02:21 12/21/11) It seems to me that the D-282 was never considered a dog despite the fact that many of its parts are shared with the gasoline version. The only negative comments I have seen on this site pertain to its hard starting nature.
I'd say that the early D-282's where the sleeves drop in and have to be shimmed leave more than a little to be desired. Later, they decided to do some decent machine work and the sleeves press fit.
Most people would rather use the buck and a half can of either than fix glow plugs. Alot of these engines are more tired than their owners realize, too. If the glow plugs function properly and the batteries are decent, and the engine is in good shape, these don't start all that hard at all. My dad's 560 diesel will start below zero, but it's not good for the engine. 1500 watt heater helps in winter.
D-282's are very economicial on fuel for the power you can get out of one.
