John Deere 332 Diesel garden tractor cold start at 29º!

[@LukesJohnDeereGarage]

For those wondering about the battery issue, the problem was solved by replacing the voltage regulator. It now charges properly.

What a nice machine!

[@MrThomasfouraker]

That’s impressive, I think with a fresh charge in the battery it wouldn’t even make a full revolution.

[@LukesJohnDeereGarage]

For sure. I didn't realize the battery was a little weak since I just got it. Should charge up fine.

[@FloridaDeere]

Starts up just fine.

[@copperridgegrow3940]

That’s an awesome machine.

[@LukesJohnDeereGarage]

They sure are great!

Big upgrade from the 330 which didn’t have power steering. I owned both.

[@LukesJohnDeereGarage]

It sure is. The extra spool of hydraulics and electric shutoff are nice features as well.

Can you show your seat modification on the 332 using uni strut? Close-up video of the hardware to raise the seat springs so you can adjust further back.

[@LukesJohnDeereGarage]

Hi- thanks for the comment... unfortunately that tractor was only here for a short time... the owner had done that modification and it worked nicely. Wish I'd thought to mention it before the machine left.

Is 900 a good price non running? I would love one but I don’t have 3000 right now and I need a winter project

[@LukesJohnDeereGarage]

It’s not common to find a 332, so I would say if it is complete and appears not to have been messed with too much, $900 is a very fair price. Let me know how it goes!

[@WyattPoteete]

What is the motor on there for it

[@LukesJohnDeereGarage]

It’s a 16hp Yanmar Diesel

[@tcmtech7515]

You need to put a *negative* in front of that 29 before it counts as a cold start.

[@LukesJohnDeereGarage]

It was cold for South Georgia.
