South_Ms, yes the injection pump requires additional additive to lube the front lip seal on the injection pump drive shaft. If this seal fails Diesel fuel will leak into the crankcase. GM ATF is good at cleaning up the fuel system, Someone on this post recommend a good commercial Diesel fuel conditioners. My brother has 454 and 495 with D-179s and he just adds a couple of tablespoons of crankcase oil every time he add Diesel to the tractor.
Ask the previous owner if the injection pump was ever removed and re-installed? The injection pump could be out of time. When engine is warmed up a properly timed D-179 will start in less of a rev of the engine. If it kicks back on starter it is timed to fast and if it requires many rev of engine to start could be timed to slow.
Also the fuel tanks on those tractors are famous for getting junk in the bottom and restricting fuel flow. Only solution is to take the outlet out of both sides of the tank, drain tank and clean out fuel lines.
