It starts like an old airplane from WW2.

That looks like fun even if it is cold. And you can go back to a warm fire.

Thank you for sharing that. Real nice machine 👍🏼

There is a trick to starting these tractors cold... it's in a service note from JD. Crank the engine for 5 seconds, then stop, turn off the key. Count to 15, then crank it for 5 more seconds. Repeat until it starts. Mine will start almost every time right away on the second try. I've never had to go more than 3 tries. The gas needs time to vaporize in the carb.

This guy worries about all the shits that is NOT important... He forgot how to take care of the important stuff! Look in the " Descriptions " . Do we need to know what kind of Camera was filmed on or how it was put together? All it matters is HIS Tractor working, so he can do his job.... Hey, what do I know right? One thing I know, ALL my ENGINES start with few a Cranks or a few Pull!

I fund a john deere cab for my 318. Sandblasted it and painted the cab. Best 100 bucks I ever spent!

Cool video! They are great machines!

One little spray of ether will save the life of yr battery & starter, i learned that from my newer Johndeere, runs great but in the cold it always starts hard, so one little spray it pops rite off ... 👍 thing works good ..

Below 30 degrees, I have to do the same.

Holy crap, my 425 starts at -10 on the 2nd revolution, please, tune up your tractor!

Remember everything with an engine is meant to run so start your equipment at least once a week regardless if it's winter, summer, spring or fall and move em around and let them run otherwise you'll get what you see in the video, a delayed start.

Nice tractor

A single stage on a 400 series??.As long as your doing very thin and light snow,that's ok.But the two stage number 47 works heavy snow faster then this single stage does.

must be cold were you are! Looks like fun though!

Talk about a hard start jeeze it must me really cold

Boy it must be cold. She moves snow real nice. Did you fix the ignition problem with the 322?

MichaelTJD60 No, I haven't fixed the ignition on the 322 yet.. I actually haven't touched it since. If you can believe it, the spark plugs were RUSTED solid. I got them out though. There are two main components to the Yanmar gas ignition. To trigger the spark, three transistorized "pulsar" modules are stationed around the flywheel and they send signals to three separate coils for the cylinders. I haven't even begun to troubleshoot. I have great spark in once cylinder, weak spark in the next and no spark at all in the third. If I can try switching the pulsar wiring around, that will help me diagnose whether the issue lies with the pulsars or the coils. If the coils are bad, I'll probably replace all three for $400.

Rusted solid? Must be a lot of moisture in the air or something. As cool as these Yanmar gas engines are I'm sure they are a challenge to work on since their specialty is diesel. Sounds like it's difficult to fix but you seem to know what you are doing. Good luck.

MichaelTJD60 The spark plugs are recessed in little cavities; water and rust collected in them and I ended up having to use a shop vac to suck all of the rust powder out before using PB Blaster to loosen the plugs. I'll get around to 'er eventually. Probably when the school semester finishes in April.

Wow. Nice going Yanmar. I guess that was the only gas motor they ever really produced, and just for JD since they are pretty much in bed together.

The Yanmar is a diesel. The engine in this tractor is a 20HP Kawasaki.

I know! My John Deeres are cranky! Temperature was hovering around -20 Celsius. The 340CCA U1 was dead as a doornail so I was boosting it with a fully charged 800CCA Optima Spiral Cell Group 34. Even with the fully charged booster battery that was as fast as it would crank! I haven't made the time to look yet but I know there's room to install a Group 51 battery like the MT51 for 500CCA. That's definitely a mod worth doing.

it seems like the problem is not with your battery but more with the starter - it sounds alot like starter drag. I would dismantle the starter and lubricate the bushings / bearings and clean all magnetic surfaces. This should allow the starter to operate at a much higher rate with a smaller battery.

Or just use winter grade engine oil

Did you put the smaller sprocket on here or add a rubber center extension to it,cuz it sure throughs well. I'm going to be running a 49 thrower on a 140 H3 this winter and I've never had a thrower before,I hope it works as well as yours here.

green&yella fella - Is yours a single stage like his or a 2 stage? Single stage stage throwers in some types of snow actually do a better job but 2 stage handle deeper snow better. A single stage will bog down in wet snow more than a 2 stage. I have a 31 hp Simplicity Legacy 4 wheel drive for my new tractor with a single stage blower that works great. My last simplicity was a 22 hp Broadmoor with their 2 stage but I didn't feel I needed the 2 stage with the more powerful and much larger Legacy and I was right. In some cases the single stage allows faster snow blowing if you have the power to use them. I don't think he modified his blower at all from the looks of it.

Playtime the 49 is single stage,I picked it up today it has the tall chute and the 140 I'm gonna use it on is 14hp Kohler. The paddle and sprocket mods are things I've learned about on here,they help to stop clogging and throughs stronger. Thanks

is it a diesel tractor with all wheel drive?

Does the snow blower hydraulics float when blower is lowered

Укатали технику.Так и стартер не долго сжечь...

you should have a455 John Deere

Question could you make a video on the 300?

Jacob LeBlanc I sold the 300 2 years ago to pay for my Kwik Way front end loader. I can't make any more videos of it. More 322 videos are on the way once I fix the ignition. I'm going to start tilling gardens this spring.

stop the video at 4:53 and you have a really epic desktop background! lol

that looks like a 36"

A 455 is a diesel. Probably wouldn't start at all! -20C is -4F. I have a 425 in an unheated pole barn that has started a lot colder than that.
