If it is indirect injection with glow plugs . It won t start unless the glow plugs are red hot prior to cranking .

We have some dimwits at work that jump into the Kubota 1140 s and start cranking . After 10-15 seconds the engine starts in a cloud of smoke . Or the driver goes back to the foreman whining that the Kubota won t start.

Depending on the temperature. 5-10 seconds of preheat and the engine starts in the first turn.

A new battery won t help if the battery is too small or there are high resistance connections . Just polishing connections is no guarantee of low connection connections . The cable could be rotten inside the clamp , corroded through mid cable . Or the cable attachment point at the chassis or at the starter could have high resistance .

Unless the connections are checked with a voltmeter while cranking . It is guess work and random replacement of part$.

Then again I have yet in 18 years or so . I have yet to have anyone report back with the results of a voltmeter year while cranking .

Today's Featured Article - Harvestin Hay: The Early Years (Part 2) - by Pat Browning. The summer of 1950 was the start of a new era in farming for our family. I was thirteen, and Kathy (my oldest sister) was seven. At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows! And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th ... [Read Article]
