- Massey Ferguson 2310 TLB
Hi Tractor family , I have a 2007 2310 TLB with 655 hours. I have a new issue and/or problem with a cold start. My sequence for starting is push up the throttle up a little bit. Then turn the glow plugs on for 20 seconds, Turn switch to on position for a few seconds to run the fuel pump. Then to start position and it fires right up.
What just started happening now is when I go to the start position, it turns over and I get a sneeze. sounds like a SHHHH sound, or kind of like what blow back through a carburetor would be.
All warm starts fire up with no issue. The antifreeze reservoir is right at the line. I have not looked in the radiator yet. It almost sounds like it is coming from the front right.
Can you guys educate me and tell me your thoughts and what to look for? My thoughts are pushing me to head gasket. If I have to take it to the dealer, I would like to know what I'm talking about. Thanks , Matt.
