Ralph, your Massey starts a little easier than mine. A few weeks ago I asked the question, how long should I plug my MF 255 in before trying to start it. I finally was able to try out the advice I received. First, I plugged in the block heater for about an hour and a half, and when I turned the key it just rolled over slowly and didn't even try to start. Then I hooked up my 55 amp charger to it, so it would spin a little faster, still nothing. Finally, I took my kerosene torpedo heater and had the hot air blow underneath the engine, and went in for lunch. Thirty minutes later I tried it again, and this time it fired right up. It filled the whole shop with diesel smoke, probably still smells in there. Mike M
