Sounds good, hope it is a long term fix.

Just wanted to add that my dealership, Swiderski out of Wausau, Wi., did a great job. Prompt and considerate.

Tinman.... I watched your video and I would say that my 450 starts very similar to yours now. It takes about the same amount of time to smooth out.
Not bad for a diesel at 10 degrees.
It was much worse than that before they replaced the injector and re-timed it.

I watched the videos and I don't see a problem. Looks normal to me.
At work we have dozens of diesel engines. They all act like that when starting in cold weather. Many of them are much worse than I'm seeing in the videos.

I understand when cold they all start rough but mine does it @50, 60 even 70F.... Which I dont feel is normal, my skidsteer starts great compared to my tractor, my 440 I had for a year and 100 or so hours started much much smoother

It was 14 this morning and it would not start on the first 2 cranks, so I pluged it in for a while and it started finally.

Does it start the same when you use the heater, or is it smoother?

I have found that my 335 starts like that without the block heater when it's below freezing, but with the heater it starts very smooth, even at 9 degrees this morning.

Hey Tinman955, did you get a block heater form the dealer it was it already installed? I would like to get one for my 450

No it's fine I have a bobcat ct122 and my tractor does the same thing. It's just because it's diesal and after it sits for a bit that's what happens and the white smoke is because it's cold. But do not worry it is perfectly fine. Also make sure to glow the plugs( turn the key backwards and hold it for 20 seconds.
