Ford 1320
Hi i've got a Ford 1320 and recently noticed in the last month that when I start it it tends to start hard. I noticed today that the glow plug light on the dash doesn't light up at all now when the key is turned on. When attempting to start the tractor it smokes and once it starts a lot of dark gray/black smoke comes out but runs fine once started and turned of starts right up its just the initial starting. It's to the point now that its starting to drain the battery while attempting to start. I'm located in Northern New York and winters are harsh here....tractor had a hard time starting today when it was 50 degrees out and battery was draining, I'd rather trouble shoot it now rather then when its 10 below and snowing out because the tractor is our only means of snow removal. Looking for any answers or trouble shooting guides. Thanks in advance.
