I'm with Dean. Look at your electrical. I have a 1660 Case combine with the Cummins engine. Bought it used and PO put new batteries in it without asking me (I wanted it switched to a pair of 6 volts when I got the chance, he bought Deere batteries also arrgghh) any way I suffered with that for about three years and finally switched batteries and found the pos cable was green at one of the battery terminals. Fixing that helped a little but still usually needed a jump in the morning esp in corn.
Last year middle of corn wouldn't turn over at all. Pulled the starter and then pulled the cover BINGO commutator was a mess. Put a CNH rebuilt on spins good now.
As we all know you need to spin up a diesel to light it coz it depends on compression to light the charge. One other trick I use from a old Cartalk puzzler is the crank the engine for a bit maybe 6 to 12 revolutions and let it rest for a bit, this lets a bit of heat build in the castings, I know not much but I feel it helps, seems to me they light a bit better without running the battery down.

Jon's Allis has a small front loader and though it doesn't carry much, it serves his needs. It was the hard starting and low power that made him think it was time to replace the old girl. Jon called me to help him discover why his tractor wouldn't start
