Hi, I have one of these old girls and like it very much. I had trouble starting it when I first got it. The glow plugs were not operating, it would start after a little bit of winding over, but as the weather got colder it was harder. I fixed the glow system and it starts first flick of the starter now. You may know that these glow plugs are wired in series, and that they are powered in line with a "controller"? Why not keep it the same? The glow plugs are not particularly expensive, and it is a fairly easy fix. Just ensure that the controller is not open circuit. I thought mine was, but it was only a bad contact. Pull it all out and clean up the terminals. Ensure that the buz bars and all contacts are clean and tight, you would be amazed how easily it starts. It is not good to continually use ether, look after this old tractor and it will serve you well. All the best, Rex

After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
