Hey guys,
Thanks for all the past advice and help with my Farmpro 2425, but you know the journey never ends.
See this thread about my purchase and adventure: http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/chinese-tractors/221022-look-what-i-got-1700-a.html
Michigan is starting to get pretty cold and I use my farmpro for clearing snow and pulling a hay wagon.
It takes some time for me to get it started on cold days. I changed the ignition switch and perform a 30 second glow plug warm up (between accessory and start) and it still takes time to get going. I do notice the battery meter draining a bit during the glow plug warm up so I hope that's a good indicator that it's heating up, but who knows.
Surprisingly this has been a sturdy and versatile tractor, but this issue is driving me nuts. I don't want to destroy my starter.
Any tips on how to test this to make sure the glow plugs are heating? There is an inline heater installed in a coolant hose, but it blows my receptacle's breaker when I plug it in.
I did search and either I suck at forum searching or I could not find anything to help.
Much obliged.
