I took a L275 in on a labor trade. Work done: Drained and replaced hydraulic oil and engine oil plus filters, new fuel filter and drained old fuel as well as bleed the fuel system at injectors, new battery. I have resealed the steering cylinder and replaced the hoses going to it from the block under the seat as they were leaking pretty bad. I have a service manual on order for it.
What I’m having trouble with: getting it started and charge light staying on. I cycle the glow plugs for about 60secs (assuming they are good, light on the dash doesn’t work), pull the decompression knob until engines spinning well then release it. It turns over slowly and usually have to repeat this process about 7-10 times to get it to fire. Once it fires it will eventually start. I have not used starting fluid and don’t plan too. What is recommended for getting it to start quicker? The charge light on the dash is staying lit after it starts, anyone have recommendations on where to start checking out why? I’m sure this isn’t correct. I do have to place the battery on a tender after the tractor has ran for any amount of time so I’m thinking there is a discharge coming from somewhere.
Thank you, AJ
