It blows my mind to see people with a 50 to $100,000 dollar machine that can’t or won’t spend a couple of bucks for hydro to warm the engine before starting. The most damage to the internal moving parts of an engine happen in the first 20 seconds before the cold oil reaches all of the critical areas.
I had a first year, 1973, 4230. That pos tractor would act this way at anything below 50 degrees. Then I got a 1976? 4430 which was much better. Kept that and bought a 4240. The 42 would start down to 0 degrees every time.
.better yet, drill a 3/8 hole in the air intake pipe 3 inches above the hood, spray vary minimum either in the hole as you turn it over. You can still reach the key and do both at the same time. Much safer
We had a 4630 PS.....no way I want one ever again. It was nothing compared to our 1586 either power or starting ease .
Its got a ,ether button, without it this tractor is useless in cold weather, i know , i own one ! But its a great tractor!!!
Either button doesnt work on this one anymore easier to just spray either by hand haha.
Batteries sound tip top
Takes a while to get the over fuel pulled back on that Bosch pump when it's that cold.

Put a decent set of batteries in it!
Its got 2 brand new 12v batteries in it
Les jd n'ont pas besoin d'avoir des températures négatives pour démarrer dificilement.
Mean grumble
My 4620 would start at 10°F with no assist. Below that, I could plug the Block Heater in for about 15 minutes and be fine. I hate using Cosby Sauce.
Yeah the cold is hard on stuff
Should of had it plugged up.
Power was too far away one of the guys didnt think that far to have it parked closer but yes i aggree
Put it in out of the weather please
Starting the engine without pressing the clutch in cold weather🤦🤷

Hey not sure why i would have to be decompressing the clutch when its in neatral please educate me.
@@corriesdailyfun ,Try next time with the clutch depressed
The majority of the transmission still spins in neutral. Cold oil adds drag.
That's Hell on the starter.
@@corriesdailyfun. The input shaft and countershaft are still dragging thru the heavy oil. Pushing in on the Clutch stops all action from there on.
Porque dañar un motor con ese spray
