At 18 Degrees F the batteries are only left with 50 percent of their cranking power. Also, use 0W30 or 0W40 oil year round. It works well in winter as well as in summer.
I have a hard time starting mine at 80f lol gotta use a burning rag in the intake to heat it up enough to start it. Not sure if it needs the valves adjusted or what. Runs fine once it catches.
Actually using ether even without the heater will cause damage. It flash expands the rings and once it's done the rings will shrink and close the ring end gap, causing low compression. I've seen diesels that will not start without ether in 90 degree weather. Personally I use a heat gun and heat the intake pipe.
@@RJ1999x actually completely right. I've worked on just about every diesel engine in semi trucks and have seen this happen. But go ahead and keep fucking your engines up. That makes people like me more money.
@@snoopytheace4487 well seeing how I've been working on diesel engines for over 40 years, the only damage is from gross over use, where the 2nd ring will crack. A diesel engine getting fuel and good cranking speed, and a whiff of ether will never hurt, and seeing how I own over 40 diesel's from 20hp to 600 HP and have had 0 issues, I will keep using it wisely and you won't get 1 cent from me
I had it for a year and a half and then traded my wife's cousin for a Fordson Super Dexta that I used this winter for plowing snow (3 point blade) at my shop

to activate pre heater dont you turn key backwards that is how ours works if preheat is not used we use either
No tank heater, no block heater, summer motor oil, forget it.
ours starts at minus 40 cerq heater works awesome

You can't use ether, and the manifold heater. You can use ether if you don't use the heater

If it wasn't for the fence, I'd think the tractor was out of place.
What year is this 930?
1961
@@MidwesternGarage how long have you had it?

Cool video. Looks like you have a “suburban” tractor…
I’ve got 930 as well, fun tractor. Check out GG77 channel for some pulling videos of the 930.
