Statesville, NC | They went to all the effort to have the exhaust of the pony pre-heat the intake, and they used the same coolant to pre-heat it; yet they were one of the best starting diesels of the time. It doesn't get that cold here, but every one I've ever seen that was in decent shape, fired off immediately under compression with fuel. Compared to IH's 450 and 560 diesels, Deere was way ahead in starting, durability, and fuel economy. A friend of mine grew up running a 70 diesel, and said they ran the hour meter back to zero TWICE, and never had the head off the engine. | |
