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. Hook up charger to battery and charge. Medium. Just to get the battery's attention. Then when ready to start, put charger in start mode. In my case, tractor starts instantly. Like it's summer. Did I mention? Occasionally this happens when it's 20-30 below zero. But, I can usually acquire "Arctic Diesel" for my winter needs. I remember using that at Fort Drum, NY to start V-12 diesel tank engines. They just used Arctic Diesel year round. That way they always had it in the tanks. 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.
