Oil & Fuel Cub Cadet 7265 will not start at below 60 degrees

[AchingBack]

hello george2615 i was wondering how your glow plug/timer kit was working? Have you had to replace them since you installed them? I am having the same problem with my cub cadet 7265. I replaced them about 3 months ago and now they have burned out already. I saw that you installed that kit on your tractor so before i replace them i thought i would contact you first to see if you have had any problems since then. Thanks

chargerman, I have the same tractor George2615 had. I replaced the plugs and the timer in December, 2011, and no problems so far. The new timer seems to be key to correcting the problem of burned plugs. The old plugs are not compatible with the new timer.

There is a complete kit available from Mahindra, part number 19672980000. I paid $198.65

Thanks for tHe info that helps me decide on whether or not to purchase the kit for my tractor.

Welcome to TBN Chargerman and Sommeral

Sorry I didn't reply sooner. I posted my reply to this thread Dec 2012. Once I installed the timer and new glow plugs everything was fine the rest of the 2012-13 season. This season 2013-14 also worked great. Thanks to Galen for supplying the longer timer and correct glow plugs back in 2012. I have since sold my 2615 and bought another tractor but the glow plugs and timer were still working fine at time of sale. I don't know if you read all my posts about this but I had two problems that Galen corrected. First, I apparently had the wrong glow plugs sold to me by a different dealer (two different times I might add). Second, My tractor was a 2004 which came with a different (shorter cycle) timer. Hope you get your starting problem straightened out.
(Galen) Lawallstractor isn't too far from you (Chargerman). He's up in Batavia, NY Give him a call (or PM him) I believe your Cadet has the same engine as the 2615. He's also a member here. I had him mail my parts to me. Sommeral probably needed the same plugs and timer but I didn't see a followup that he got his going.
