PecosAllis said: (quoted from post at 17:53:52 12/29/13) UPDATE: Today sun went back up to the dozer. batteries charged fully wrenches in hand and alot of hope. Loosen the hose from the filter, fuel comming out good, loosen all the injectors at the nut, cranked over till diesel was comming out at them, tighten them back up, put my glow plug wires on, let sit for acouple o minutes, then cranked, cranked, and cranked and phooey zip no fired up. I took out the glow plugs and cranked again, fuel did come out of the holes so I know it is getting fuel..However. I cannot find any kind of knob w cable as a kill switch so Im thinking that maybe the kill switch is on and that is why no firing? I du no Im not a diesel man so this all new to me. Maybe someone has a page of the operators manual that says how to start it and what the dash looks like and what things are (it has two push buttons and a big knob maybe light switch?) Any way me and the dog came home with two low batteries and no td340. How do you check the glow plugs if good? Thanks for any help !!Phone call works good too 505-470-4638
What is the temperature outside?? Any black smoke???
I know very little about diesels, but here is my take. Any others correct me if I am wrong. Glow plugs are just for cold starting so even if they do not work it could start (or try to). The ignition of the fuel is by the heat of the compression stroke. If you have fuel coming out of the injectors and glow plug holes the pump is at least pumping (here is something I am not sure about just guessing) , but may not be in time due to it being loose. The fuel needs to injected at the right moment to ignite, if the timing of the pump is off it will not start. There should be some sort of switch to heat the glow plugs and it is only used on the start up. Most diesels kill the engine by stopping the fuel to the injectors, hence the pull knob mentioned above.
My guess and it is a very ill informed one at that is that the pump is out of time or you lack the compression to ignite the fuel. Again I know just enough to get myself in trouble so others mat chime in to correct me and hopefully add.

Today's Featured Article - Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
