I've been looking for a small dozer to buy,so today I go look at a 1959 TD6 with a factory turbocharged D282(kinda rare).It looked to be in pretty good condition.I get there and the owner gets out a can of huff to start the thing,its fifty degrees today.Before he tries to start it I tell him this engine has glow plugs,he says really?Then I show him the glow plug meter on the dash and I push the button for the glow plugs and it pegs the meter like it's supposed to.He says wow! my dad and I have owned this dozer for over fifty years and neither one of us knew that!I'm thinking to myself this can't be good.So he hits it with huff and then hits the start button and engine fires up and its maybe running on one or two cylinders then it picks up another one or two cylinders,so then its maybe running on five cylinders.And that's as good as it got and all the while it's smoking pretty good too.I tell him the engine has a dead hole,and he says it has ran this way since they had it!Told him I'm gonna have to pass on this one(thinking broken rings or worse).It's a real shame to ruin an otherwise good engine just by simple ignorance and/or not knowing the proper srarting procedure for this engine.I used to own a IH 656 with the same D282 engine and unless engine is warmed up good this engine requires using the glow plugs.Again what a shame.Don't understand how someone could not know their machine better than that but I also wrench for a living and have seen lots of issues from simple neglect.Ok rant over...job security right?

Today's Featured Article - Women and Tractors - Tractor Engine Repair - by Teri Burkholder. One of the great things about working on a tractor engine with your other half is that you know what he is thinking of at all times and can anticipate his every move and his next thought of what he will do. With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I’m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I’ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I’ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see. "Run in the house and get me a...."as I open th
