No, secondary issue I was referring to above is the glow plugs possibly not reigniting while the engine is cranking. I just refer to the fuel shutoff issue as a potential ignition switch issue that may cause the glow plugs to not reheat. Of course that is all moot if the glow plugs aren't...

For anyone who is curious, this is what I am referring to with the "secondary issue" above.

Thank you for the advice. Based on what has been said before, I assume the cylinder being late to the party is an injector issue?

Page 9-S11 that white tiger posted above, top of the page, in the box. If I am misunderstanding, please feel free to correct me. My 7.3 IDI likes glow plugs that are 0.3-0.5 ohms, as far as I can tell my multimeter seems to be able to reliably read that. To be clear it doesn't "sit" at say 0.4...

Thank you all so much. I think this is a glow plug issue. Secondly, I apologize. The WSM I have is a print out that was stuck in a binder with a bunch of pages out of order (that's how it was shipped to me). I sat down today and properly reorganized it. I had been struggling to find detailed...

All read ~1.6 ohms individually.

The battery is a couple years old, and I agree, it does seem on the slower side. I will try the multiple cycles of the glow plugs. No block heater. That 1.0 ohm is what they should be reading? Apologies but I can't find the proper ohm reading for glow plugs in my shop manual. I removed the...

Unsure, will do, will report back. I know on my 7.3 IDI the "Wait to Start" light will glow for about 15 seconds, turn off, and then the plugs actually stay on for a little while longer. These shut off immediately when the glow plug light turns off.

Update: 1.) Can't find a compression tester locally that will fit the glow plug holes. Unsure if compression is an issue. Frankly, it doesn't matter a whole lot. If nothing else solves the issue, then I'll start thinking about learning how to rebuild an engine. 2.) Glow plug bus bar is receiving...

Well ladies and gentleman, bad news. Pulled the air filter out, pulled the clean side air intake hose off, and there is a little bit of dust in there. Not sure where the dust intrusion is coming from. It appears once upon a time a mouse or something must've chewed up the air filter (before I...

I had virtually no blow by when I picked this tractor up. It is worse now. I can't figure out what is causing it. I religiously clean the air filter, I do not see any possible dirt/dust intrusion spots, and I have no oil consumption... I just checked that, still exactly where it should be, and...

Yeah, planning on getting to that later today. Trying to run the last of my topsoil through my grizzly so I can get seed down before it is too late...

Thanks guys, will check a couple things and report back.

I have a 2001 L35 with about 1100 hours on it. I purchased it a couple years ago, history unknown, I have done a bunch of repairs (mainly fixing hydraulic leaks), and have put about 200 hours on it. Recently it has become challenging to start when in the 30s or 40s F. Granted the block may be...
