Hey guys new here my name is Dylan, I recently joined the group because I need help trying to figure out while my 245DT is not starting. a little background on myself im 23 years old, active duty army I have a side business for welding and metal fabrication. I bought this tractor about 7ish months ago its a kubota 245DT. its been a fairly good tractor no big issues starter switch broke about 2 months ago so i've been starting it from the starter. fast forward to about 5 days ago I came out and all it did was crank, never fired. it was weird usually if I have that issue I'd spary some starter fluid in it and it would start no issues. but this time it just cranks no fire. tried glowplugs, tried leaving a heater next to the engine for a couple hours (south GA so its not to cold) tried starter fluid, changed batteries for more CCA. nothing so i pulled the valve cover off and started to look at everything maybe the decomp lever is sticking? nope. Valve stuck? taped the head of the valve with a hammer they all moved freely and made the exact same noise i know that doesnt really count at much but usually means they are all generally in the same condition. next stop compression test pulled all the injectors and started. cyl #1 250ish PSI, #2 35PSI ,#3 250ish PSI. boom cylinder 2 maybe it valves or rings. so I put some oil in the cylinder wall and tried again. 200 psi and holding no leak down. for better insurance I got all the oil out and put brake fluid in it for a couple hours to clean any carbon on the rings. turned it over got the fluid out, comp tested it again 180psi a little low but still has pretty good compression from where it was. put it back together and still nothing I dont know where to go next. someone please help give suggestions before I start pulling the whole thing apart.
Thanks in advance
