CT 225 Getting Worse trying to start in winter.

[Snowlan]

Is there a difference of summer fuel to winter fuel?

Yes there is in cold weather climates.

Is there a difference of summer fuel to winter fuel?

Yes there is, but I have 'summer' fuel in mine. Just used 'Hot Shots Secret' anti-gel in the fuel, no problems this winter.

How long do you hold till the light goes out?
I thought for sure my manual said to hold 5-10 seconds.
I've never had my light go out.
I will try tomorrow to see if my light goes out. Thanks.
Oh it's a 2010.

It is about 32f here at 4:40am, just went out and activated glow plugs, light stayed on about 13 seconds. Mine is a 2008.

Thank you for the manual instructions.
I worked at my City's Municipality.
We had alot of diesel machines.
I guess that's where I got the 5-10 seconds on the glow plugs.
I'll head out today to check mine.
Thank you again!

My glow plug lite on the dash does not go out.
I held it for almost 50-60 secs.
Then tried to start the tractor.
It still did not want to start.
Finally did.

time to check your glow plug circuitry.

time to check your glow plug circuitry.

2 glow plugs are out.
How do I find a part number for glow plugs?
Thanks!
