Thanks for the info Mike.

Today I pulled out the tank and replaced the fuel lines,shutoff was plugged up solid,I was able to bleed up to the injector pump,but it will not start with the little battery that came with it.
Cleaned up all the grounds and used new bolts.
Where do the smokers club get the right battery?

I had a 425 cca for my smoker. Started ok with the relay upgrade.

Sure is a nice diesel tractor. I guess the club is going to share their secret handshake soon?

Congrats Lew and welcome to the club. Hard to own just one diesel. Fair warning. Got my 1512 out last week after it's winter slumber and she fired right up. Adrian's right, any good battery will work. As long as you have the two ground cables with clean ends, glow plug update/relay, and gear reduction starter. Those mods make a world of difference. This should be your new grass killer. She'll sip fuel.

Nice machine Lew!! I like my diesel.. Compared to all my other cubs it burns almost no fuel. I think you will find that you like this one if you use it very much!!

Thanks for the info on the battery,I will see what I can find to fit in there,the one the PO had in it was too tall and hit the hood and sparks were flying,so he had a piece of carpet covering the terminals.

Checked out the drive line and all is good and tight,when I first looked at it,one mounting bolt was missing on the rear,I will look into that further.

No one let me in on the secret handshake yet...

I my experience, it's not the battery, but the starter. Swap out the stocker for a gear reduction model. Even the puny battery will spool it up nice then.

I got the idea from Andy;
