Mowing Will a John Deere 4100 handle a 72" mower?

I was wondering if you were talking about glow plugs, but like I said before I do not know much about diesels just had assumed all diesels used injectors.

Oops, good eye kennyd! Yes that would be glow plugs. Since your in on the conversation kennyd how many glow plugs are the 4100's built with? Are they built with any? I'm assuming maybe three? I know I've read the block heater is an optional item that would have to be purchased. Hey, also for my own knowledge.... do all new tractors still use a traditional fuel injection pump, or are they switching to EUP electronic unit injectors like Mack did several years back?

There are 3 GP's, one per cylinder. We discussed how the systems works in this thread if you remember:

Most if not all CUT's still use traditional IP's, not sure about the large AG tractors.

Thanks KennyD and all of you guys, I can't believe how many times this site has helped me and given me ideas as how to make my tractors more efficient.

If you get a loader, the fuel filter will not be easy to access. What I do with the loader in place is to remove the 12 mm bolt that secures the filter assembly to the frame and then rotate the whole assembly up to where I can easily remove the ring holding the filter bowl in place.

All diesel engines have injectors, do you mean glows plugs rather than spark plugs? (diesel engines do not have spark plugs).

Does the 4100 use glow plugs, or is there an air intake heater?

Roy, the 4100 has 3 glow plugs. If you look at the above feeds there is a link that will explain how to use them.

Would a FEL that was sitting next to a barn that burnt, that caught the diesel on fire be of interest? The paint was scorched on parts of it, but the cylinders did have some paint on them when I got it. (pulled it home as a project for a friend of mine, who ended up selling his tractor) Price is dependent on if you want the bucket, which I took off and is sitting in the garage awaiting a project of my own, unless I get a fel for my jd2555, lol.
The whole thing is sitting outside, so what paint was there is now gone, but if somebody wants to play with a fel project, this one could be fun... complete hose replacement will be needed. Cylinders will require powering up to determine if they leak.

Sandman2234,

I think that is a little more than I am willing to tackle right now, I have a 39 John Deere B in pieces in my shop and some more smaller projects waiting. I do appreciate you responding and you may have an excellent project to work on, however I am leaning toward a larger tractor with FEL as a better solution to my situation.

Thanks again

Larry

No problem,
It is a little small for my tractor, or I would use it, lol. I used the tractor before the fire, and it is a good little workhorse, extremely capable!
Since your on my path going to my Dad's house, I thought it might be something we could work out. (S.W. Arkansas from Jax)
