1. (yells FUCK)  lol
2. WHY not plug it up you know thats hard on the motor
3. it just harm the engine to try to start it without some heat, a rule of the thumb is that a diesel in good contition start without help at freezing point.
4. watch onelonleyfarmer post on how to use either on those.  I never tried it and it works like a champ.
5. Umm,  Isn't there a place to plug in an extension cord??  I have a 4430 and I won't even try to start it without plugging it in for an hour.  This is just HARD on a tractor.   Wonder why it has blowby???  When I do have to use starting fluid, I take the air filter cover off and spray it directly into the filter housing.  I also put the throttle to 3/4.  Once it sputters to life, I pull it back to fast idle (1000rpm) until it's operating temp.  
   
   A 466 would be wasted on a 4030 - this is essentially a super 3020.  Would you put a 466 in a 3020?
6. ha yeah, I get plenty of excercise walking in the snow climping in tractors.
7. Well, at least you are getting your exercise, moving between the platform and the air intake. :) We had the 329 engine in our JD544 loader back in the day.
8. Yay! Summer in a can!
9. yeah, I'm sure if this one had lower hours and had been better taken care of it would start a lot better. It has almost 8000 hours on it and they are not easy hours. 
10. We have a 4030 with 6000 hrs and it has never give a minutes trouble starting. We installed a block heater for easier cranking in the winter and every since it has always done great.
11. That is one evil motor you have there. 
12. yeah, its just a poor design. This model was only in the market for four years, My Brother in law has a 4030 and dad took the 329 out of it and put a 466 in it and it's a good tractor. This tractor here has major blowby and it only has 7,000 hours on it almost 8,000 and usually they will go to about 20,000 hours. I'd like to take this motor out and put either a 404 or a 466 in it.
13. my dad had a6600 combine with a 329,it was very noisy,because the engine ran at 2600 rpm, and why did they put both manifolds and the injection pump and nozzles on the same side?, looking like a fire waiting to happen,and the little L shaped hoses for the oil cooler/filter liked to start leaking in the middle of the harvest field, and were a SOB to change
14. oh I'm with you there i definitely think the 404s were a lot better engine, and the 466, that is a good engine to.
15. I would much rather have a 4230 with a 404D,instead of a4030,i do not care much for a 329 JD diesel engine,they are built so weird 
16. Some are and some are not. We have a few that will start right up don't what temperature it is but then there are some that refuse to start.
17. I was thinking about the same thing.
18. Come on baby pump it pump it, come on come on start. 
19. yeah, there is something about those 30 series injection pumps that makes them not start good. All the 30 series john deere tractors would probably start right up if they had a 40 or other series injection pump installed on them.
20. My John Deere 4230 start in some canking (10 cranking turn maximun) in -20°C. Note: I installed a in-line injection pump from a John Deere 7810 :DD
