Cold start on John Deere 4955

[@oakhillfarmer4839]

I'm just seeing this now but by the jesus this is the first time I have seen someone use ether properly and not use a half can. I'm very impressed!

By Jesus ! I agree the old two can clatter didn’t happen here

You probably change the battery more frequently... nice video 👌🏻

lovely machine, great video

No glow plugs on John deere. The 466 deere engine is direct injected, no pre combustion chamber. No intake heater either. They came factory equipped with ether injection. Used sparingly, no harm is done. I worked at a John deere dealer for several years as a mechanic and worked on 4020's through the big dog 4960's.

[@NicksFarm]

Awesome tractor

[@michaelcochran7895]

The 55 series is the last one to have the exhaust coming out of the hood. My dad has 4960 with the side exhaust.

[@borrie40]

Only the first gen 55 has the exhaust out the hood, newer gen 4955 also have the side exhaust just like the 4960

[@smajhound4048]

Cylinder 5 be like, knock knocking on heavens door .

[@zakarygardner5158]

I once heard a theory of crank so long wait let you're heads warm through crank again repeat until started. The theory being as you crank it's partially burning fuel and creating heat just need t let it warm up through the heads then she will go

[@74superglide]

I have read the reason ether isn't too good is because it wears out the top ring on the piston.

[@iankakoschke7771]

Love em... but a shed is just there...

[@micarone]

Did you mean that the tractor should be kept in the shed? If so, I don't think that it would've made any difference, because I doubt that shed has any kind of heating or insulation, so it's basically as cold at inside as it's at outside, whatsoever.

[@charlescrisp2814]

I never use staring fluid to start my tractor.i just let the glow plugs do their thing and then I engage the starter and in a few seconds my tractor starts first time.too much starting fluid ruins the engine

[@morganthechevyguy]

Lots of older diesels didn't even have glow plugs.

[@Kcbneedmoretest]

Jds don’t have glow plugs

[@johnsinnott5165]

These old tractors were usually direct injected so I'd doubt there'd be glow plugs is this tracotr5

[@Marcos-ss8gh]

Don't use fluids to start the engine, it's s not good, use the heater for a minute and move the steering wheel side to side while you using the starter, is my advice

[@TheRealJesseStoltzfus]

You’ve clearly never been around these engines. They’re designed to have some ether used in cold climates, even came with a direct injection. Deere wouldn’t have done it if it wasn’t any good. Just no need to blow a half a can of snort into just because.

[@smajhound4048]

My 354.4 Perkins will sit all year hook batteries pre heat 30 seconds 3-4 flips

[@neilenglot3039]

I started my 4755 in -15 Celsius and it fired up much nicer. I will never use ether

[@smokingmotors471]

Good for you man

[@boomer1049]

Cold starts are bad no matter what engine! A block heater is must to heat up the oil! Especially if it's daily!

[@jessieblanton9875]

Starting fluid on John Deere tractor will have it addicted to starting fluid

[@austingoleman9431]

We called them ether babies get to where even in 110 weather won’t hit a lick without it

[@recker_7630]

If they are becoming addicted ether, the engine is wore and cant produce the neccessary compression to fire from a cold conditioner

[@arnemagnus680]

Recker _ thats because starting fluid wears out the piston rings

Be in cab when starting! Watch oil pressure & other gages. My 970 case states much better. 4 or 5 turn oversaw & she's running.

[@catfish500mark9]

Why do you people always make a video of yourselves being stupid?Why not park you machine next to an electrical outlet and plug in a block heater overnight?Starting fluid is one of the worst things you can do to a diesel.Oh well,your machine,your money,your ignorance.

[@harrimanfox8961]

I don't think these have block heaters.

[@xade7863]

U clearly don’t know shit about These engines they don’t have heaters or glow plugs

[@Asmith-1111]

If ether is so bad for a diesel engine, why the hell would john deere themselves add a button in the cab of the machine to add a shot to the intake. Answer that one for me.

[@xade7863]

@@Asmith-1111 ether is fine for the engine just excessive use from ppl who don’t know shit will get the engine dependent on ether to start that’s why a bunch of old 7.3s need a can every morning to start

Such a sad shame that you are using Either on her,! That spray will ruin the engine for sure, A Fully charged batteries, / Fully working set of heater glow plugs, and get her put in that barn " and i bet she will start 90% better for you,.!!

[@strawberryroan1941]

Dave Hodges Ether will not ruin an old Deere, unless you are an absolute fool when you use it. We have a 1973 John Deere 4630, my dad bought it in 1988, and it has always needed a shot of ether to start, even on a hot day. But once it fires up it runs the best of any of our tractors. It has 11,000 hours and has had no engine trouble yet. If ether is so bad for an engine, I wonder why John Deere, International, and Case, all put a button in the tractor to give it a shot of ether from the luxury of inside the cab. But I agree, putting the tractor in the shed and plugging it in is a good idea.
