When starting turns over a few times then goes real slow as if battery no charged or in gear.I wonder if the starter needs some work? It doesn't have a hour meter but has been used a lot on a strawberry farm.

Are you sure the glow plugs are working... Many small diesels need good glow plugs to get started, even in the heat of summer... You also will need good battery cables and clean connections, that little 2 cylinder draws a lot of current to start... :smile:KennyV

The tractor is at the lake(60 miles) so it will be a few days before I get up there. Thanks for the information, I'll get back with you then.

A friend said it may be the compression that makes it get so hard to turn over, says a LITTLE shot of starter fluid may help?

I just got home caught some nice bream, the temp. was 109 yesterday so had to go fishing early. I tried a tolling motor heavy duty battery on the T1600H and it started right up so I cut a piece of plywood and made a platform for it right behind the battery compartment, it worked fine so I guess that solves my problem. Will the larger battery hurt anything?

If you put TOO large a battery into a boat... It might sink.
In a tractor it will only give you more traction....:smile:KennyV

I had the same problem with hard starting. After replacing many parts I discovered that the stranded ground wire bonding the frame and motor had broken. There was enough connection to enable it to start, but the resistance caused the need for more cranking amps. The problem progressively got worse until I discovered the broken wire at the ring terminal on the frame.

What size socket do I need to remove the blades on RC44LT mower deck?

Yea it will make you leen to the right

If it is intended for a trolling moter it is a deep cycle and won't last to long

I'll have to buy one the largest I have is 1 1/8 and it is to small.

Have one of these machines. Believe it's a 30mm socket in new measurements!

Thanks very much for the help.
