[QUOTE="SkidRoe, post: 53124, member: 3290"] Hey Bluesky, As you no doubt know, ether is something that should only be used in desperation. We have all done it, and I cringe every time, even on gas engines. Just thinking out loud, here is are a few of suggestions: 1. I don't know how many hours your machines have on them, but have you had the injectors checked out? A respectable diesel shop will generally check them for a modest fee (some times for free). 2. You said you checked the glow plugs. If they are the Bosch type, the only sure fire way of testing them is to take them out and connect them to the battery, using a short piece of heavy wire. The entire tip needs to glow red, not just the very end. Replace any that are not fully glowing. 3. If all else fails, do your machines have block heaters? Maybe you might want to plug them in for about half an hour before start up (assuming that you have power near by). I had a neighbour back on the farm that kept the Detroit Diesel in his old Ford Louisville tractor plugged in all summer. You can't hurt a diesel with heat. My $0.02, SR [/QUOTE]
