Howdy All,
I've been away from TBN for a long time, almost 2 years I think. My SO left for greener pastures but I kept the tractor! LOL
Anyway, my battery is in need of replacement so the other day when I went to start it I was worried about having to crank it over very long. It was about 10 F out so I decided to try something different on start up. I turned the key on till the glow plug indicator went out, then I turned it off and repeated 3 times. When I started it, the engined fired up very very quickly. Is this a bad habit to get into? I guess I will wear out the glow plugs more quickly.
When I have a good battery in it, I sometimes pull the shutoff knob and crank the engine over a few seconds in very very cold weather before I start it. Any opinions on that?
Glad to be back to TBN, hope everyone is doing fine here. BTW after my SO left for greener pastures, I traded up! LOL
