I bought a used Mx5100 in Nov (128 hrs). Great tractor!
We had a could snap(low 30's) I went to start it after letting the glow plug engage for about a minute. There's a fast tapping sound near the front of the engine. After about 2 minutes it clears up. Doesn't do it at all when it's 50* or warmer. I've changed the oil but it's still doing it.
Should I be worried?
Thanks for any advice.
Here's a link to YouTube with the sound.
Sorry I'm moving it so much. I'm trying to get different vantage points.

I'm almost certain it's coming from oil filter. Surely some of you boys up north have heard something like this! Anybody? Going to try an oil additive. Still concerned about it though!
Thanks again!
