Clean the tank and replace fuel filter now and contact fuel suppliers in your area to find out when they'll be getting their winter diesel. You don't say where you're at. When their winter diesel comes in (most likely #1) fill the tank with that. Install a tank heater. Do you know what that is? Make sure you have super good battery power and cables and connections are super clean and tight. Buy a starter charger. Heavy Duty. Hours before attempting a start, plug in tank heater.

Of course, they ordered fuel by the trainload where you're going to be at the mercy of whatever the dealer has at the moment. Good idea to have the tractor shedded, too.

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
