Sounds like the cold might've just taken the life out of the batteries. In that kind of 5F weather, they can drop voltage really fast - especially after a couple of glow plug cycles.

Yeah, I've run into something similar before. If it's cranking but not actually starting, I'd start with the basics first.

Has anyone here used Veritread recently? How was your experience?

From what I've seen, SmartEquip makes parts procurement a lot more straightforward. You can search for the correct part using equipment model or serial number, and it usually pulls up the right diagrams and part numbers.

Use an infrared thermometer to check the temperature before and after the fuel cooler. If there isn't a significant drop, the cooler is your villain.

On most machines, the preheat system is controlled by a temperature switch or sensor. When the engine is already warm, the switch stops power from reaching the relay or heater, so the preheat will not turn on. This helps protect the heater and reduce electrical load. If the preheat is not...

On most 1966 Ford payloaders with an Allison transmission, the easiest way to remove it is from the top, especially if the engine is already out. This gives better access and lifting space. Basic steps: Disconnect the batteries and drain the transmission oil. Remove floor plates, access...

Oh nice! Yeah, I've checked out Mascus a bit. Their listings are pretty extensive, and the search tools aren't bad.

I'm asking because I'm considering participating in an auction, but I'm not sure if being outside Alabama would be an issue.

I totally agree with you!

Most modern diesel fuels are lowsulfur (like ULSD), so emissions are way lower than older highsulfur fuels, but you won't find a single number for 'crane sulfur output' because it varies so much by engine, load, and fuel.

Keep an eye on listings regularly, know what the equipment is really worth, and set alerts for the types of machines you want.
