Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

I need to get out of this chair, feed some puppies, head to TSC and then the Amish market, back home, train a few dogs, and go to the movies. Bye.

I wanna go to the movies....

Anyone know the secret to starting a diesel tractor in below freezing temps?

Warm it up..... Got a salamander heater.
Or some other type ......cover the tractor with a tarp.... Warm it up.
I assume it started okay before.
Is the diesel fuel in it winter or summer fuel?

Only way we could get ours to start was a block heater and the occasional need for the barn heater .

Are all the glow plugs good?

Ether as a last resort

This is what the refill adapter looks like..... The small bottle just screws on it..... And it screws on the big bottle..... But to fill them the bottle needs to be upside down..
I usually try to under fill them so if the temperature goes way up..... The gas doesn't expand too much.

No idea what's in it; just got it Monday. They didn't volunteer & I didn't know to ask. Supposed to hit high 50's in a couple days. Is it likely to start o.k. then?
Don't know about the glow plugs, either. Three lights on the dash, 2 red & 1 yellow, & they all glow when the switch is on; haven't noticed them ever change. I was expecting the yellow one to change to another color when the glow plugs warmed up. I've never had trouble starting it before now.

That lets me out; I'm no intellectual, & probably wouldn't enjoy it if I was.

Just got back from hunting..... Nothing.
I checked the camera and 10 minutes after I left last night three does came in.
Spent a good part of the night out there.
But no bucks.... Thinking they are starting to head to the deer yards for the winter.
If I see it getting more likely I'll just stop for the year.
I plan to take a ride down to the migration trails and sit for a day.

Full moon.
