If it has glow plugs, then probably need to use them for at least 30 seconds. Old drill on VW Rabbit Diesel, Ford Escort Diesel, IHC 350D has a full minute of glow plugs before using starter. Mercedes owners
had the Memory Minute- heater switch and think about Gotlieb Daimler and Rudolph diesel, Mercedes fuel pump- and maybe weiner schnitzel. then turn over engine. For some Mercedes cars in real cold weather-get a
hait dryer, stick in aircleaner intake and set it on Fry/dry after shower for 5 minutes before trying starter, remove hair dryer after started. A few diesel had a glow plug or ignitor in intake manifolds that
would start a teaspoon of fuel on fire in manifold as starter turned. English Standard or the Austin made Nuffield(?) - fuel line from bypass/return at pump was one thing to check, dry holding cup from a
prior failure to start or setting too long. Ether NOT recommended for those systems- explodes intake manifold. squirt of WD40 or a teaspoon of lamp oil or kerosene was the recommended emergency try to get hot
air into cylinder without explosion. John Deere Combine had a propane injector using small bottle for winter starts, some diesel needing help would get a propane torch burning in aircleaner, then shut off
flame, crack open valve again for couple seconds just before using starter- 2 person drill at times depending on engine, starter button location. Maybe check Garden Tractor site? for Pasquali starting drill?

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. 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 ... [Read Article]
