2013 Massey 1635. Izieki built. Great tractor until it gets below zero.
New block heater last year and it is working, had it plugged in for 6 hours. New battery. Preheater works. New OEM filters. But I wouldn't call the diesel premium, we have a chain convenience store close by so its handy for fuel. But the fuel quality is suspect. Says "winter blend" but is also says bio diesel. That's why I dumped in a good amount of Howes. I know I can get no. 1 at the farm center 15 miles away but I'll have to use jugs which is a pain.
I don't think it is gelling in the filter. It started but was still short on power when I changed filter, and the one I took out didn't show a gross amount of wax. I put the heat gun on the filter housing and that helps a little. But the electric pump is right behind the filter housing and heating it helped a lot. So I think it is plugging up the pump. Once I warmed the pump it would run fine for about a half hour then act up again. Pump hangs on a bracket no heat from the engine gets to it.
I know little about diesels, but my son does and thinks my engine is a total consumption pump. Meaning no fuel returns to the tank. Other designs recirculate fuel, which helps keep the fuel warm once the tractor warms up. He recommends we put an Arctic Fox kit on it that circulates coolant thru tubing in the tank. But the tractor is so compact there is no good access to the plastic fuel tank for hoses that size. One idea I thought about was a 12v RV holding tank heating pad under the tank. But a big job to remove the tank to install it. Next thought was some sort of 12v submersible heater, I can probably get a 1/2 hole in the tank next to the fill cap to install then silicone around the wires. Needs to be self regulating so not to melt the tank. Haven't found anything like that yet.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
