AGRIMAN, i thougt everybody knew the JD steering wheel trick till a few weeks ago. A farmer freind of mine called to ask if there were any tricks to cranking my 4840 he had borrowed. At first i told him no then ask him, you are spinning the steering wheel arent you? He had never heard of such. Anyway it cranked right up then.

The steering wheel trick doesn't help starting as much on later models tractor because of the change in the type steering valve to the metering pump type steering. This change happened about mid production on the 30 series(4230/4430/4630). My 4255 will start fine in sub-freezing temps without the steering wheel trick,ether or block heater.
