Case 1740 Hard to Start?

[CLi87]

I recently got a Case 1740 with the 4 cylinder diesel, it runs great once started but it takes a lot of cranks before she'll fire up, I was thinking glow plugs at first but there doesn't seem to be any glow plugs on this engine, any ideas what else could cause it to have a hard time starting?

Could be a bad injector or low compression.

How do I check compression on this engine? I'm a BMW tech so very familiar with engines in general but don't really know anything about these diesels, and how do the injectors work? Are they electronic injectors controlled by a computer or do they function differently?

if this engine was made I would guess before 2005 or around there it should have a mechanical pump that runs off the crank , no electronic injectors.

It appears to be an earlier version of the Bosch VE rotary injection pump. There is a filter screen, top rear of pump (on top of the injector lines)
No manifold preheater or glow plugs.
