Hello everybody!
I noticed my 1983 kubota b7100 (1400 h on odometer) has a quite difficult start. It doesn't start in the hot days without preheat. Tractor is in Romania now, bought it from UK. Tested it in August (30+ Celsius) without preheat and didn't start. Now I have to use preheat button for about 30-40 sec, and will start. When it starts you can see a bit of white smoke and then black smoke coming out. Please see the attached video link and tell me your opinion. Do I need to change anything on this tractor? Like glowplugs, injectors? I don't have any history about it, I mean I don't know when they changed the glowplugs (if they did it). Straight after I bought it, I changed the oil, filters, cleaned the tank and I put the best diesel in.
Thanks for your help.
