B7300 Starting Problem

[OH_FARMER]

Hey guys,

Recently my B7300 been hard to start. I have never had any problems before, but now it seems like it is "flooded" or something. I hit the glow plug for 5 sec or so and when I go to start the tractor it cranks for a while before it starts. Is it possible that the glow plug is bad?

5 seconds doesn't seem very long,does it start easier if you give it more heat?but it is posible the some of the glowplugs are bad.

It has always started quickly after 5-10 sec pre-heat. Now it acts like the glow plug does nothing at all. When it cranks for a few seconds, it finally starts and seems flooded. After a few seconds it seems fine. The tractor has about 1500 hours on the meter. Do glow plugs ever go bad?

Try 30 seconds.
