Hello all
Been having issues with my tractor not starting right away and I turn the steering wheel side to side and the engine would always start right up (Been like this since I got this tractor, I bought it used in December). Last week the tractor took longer then the normal 10 seconds to start had to crank it for about 20 sec wait 20 seconds again then it fired up. Then later that week it took about 2 mins to start and finally yesterday it took about 3 mins to finally start I used it for about 45 mins to cut the grass and then I parked it and now it just turns over and will not start. I checked the battery 12.62 volts then when cracking up in drops to 9.4 to 10.0. My friend suggested it was the battery not supplying enough juice so I hooked up my jumper cable to my truck and same results. (does turn over a little faster, but not starting) I checked to make sure I had fuel to the injectors at the bleed screw and I do. I just downloaded the service manual and it really does not give you step by step diagrams that I am used to in other manuals. Then I figured I would reach out to the community to see what else I could do. I am thinking about removing the glow plugs to test them but since I am not to familiar with diesel engines I thought I better ask some of you pro's before I start just tearing things apart. I also need to mention I did a purple stuff degrease of the engine but I can not remember if the problems came before this or after. I did check every fuse/relay and checked the wires looking for anything loose. Can you help a brother out????
