Hello I E-mailed about a year ago that my tractor would not start when cold ..But when the warm weather came back I live in Mass , the tractor would start with not to much problem ,,I rebuilt the starter myself. bought a new thermo switch ,,I also noticed a lot of oil coming out of the air breather tube that goes to the air filter ..after moving 10 yards of 3/4 stone ,10 yards of gravel ,and 10 yards of bark mulch ..this summer .It is now getting hard to start because it is getting cold ..I finally checked the compression this week end. It is 300-360-300 then I squirted some motor oil into the cylinders and got 500-600-500.It actually started on the# 2 cylinder with the compression tester ..I have started to tear down the engine , I have the service and repair manuals ..Is the 186D the same tractor as the 1510D??I am taking my time and labeling and numbering everything as I take it apart push rods, ect ..Once I get everything Apart I will start measuring the parts Piston, rings, cylinders, to see what is worn and needs to be replaced Thanks Roland
