Glad it’s up and running!! A little Sunday success!!

Btw cloud point of diesel varies greatly- region and season typically play a role. It can be as high as 40° and way down in the neg numbers. The refineries tinker with the diesel “blend” fairly regularly for cost and BTU purposes. If the fuel was purchased mid summer this could be the issue.

Now that you mention it, the last time I really used the tractor, that is bought fuel, was late June when we sold one of our lots. Since then, I have just been using it to move trailers around and shuttle stuff around the yard.

As mentioned by others- given your location- it could be a long shot. It’s just the first thing to throw out this time of year. Now that you’ve added the additive you will know the next time you go out to start it.
