B2710 hard to start

[Alan L.]

I have been on this board for 16 years and it was feedback on this board that caused me to buy this new tractor in 1999. It now has about 900 hours and I have not posted much about the tractor because there have not been any problems in years.

Now, all of a sudden the tractor is hard to start. It cranks and cranks and after 3 or 4 tries finally fires off with lots of white smoke. I wonder if there is something going on with the glow plugs?

Could be, maybe one of them has burnt out.
