We didn't do this for that engine (on the DVD) and it starts really well, but I understand that some people prefer to put the heater plugs in to aid starting if the engine is partially worn or starting performance isn't brilliant. What I would say is to take a look at the condition of the timing chain and the backlash in the injection pump drive gears, as these can both improve the situation. For anyone in Northern Ireland then these people are set up with a jig to do the job... http://vintagetractorengineer.com/2010/02/engine-reconditioning-comiskey-engineering-works/ Steve. Hi David,

What sort of tractors and machinery do you work on? (Maybe it isn't possible to answer that question too succinctly). Is it an arable or livestock area? Steve. Hi Chris,

Re the video of starting FE35, never, never, never start a tractor without sitting in the driver seat, too many people have been killed or seroiusly injured by using Richards method, not to mention damage to the starter/ solenoid, and here in Australia all those flying sparks would start a bushfire in no time.
