[AT] Glow plugs

[Cecil Bearden]

If it fires up quickly without a lot of smoke I would not be concerned.  
Many of the newer eastern european tractors will start in near zero 
weather without glow plugs.   My opinion is that if the tractor will 
start easily with 3 to 5 seconds of cranking without a cloud of white 
smoke, then the glow plugs were not needed.   My D6D Cat states to use 
the glow plugs when below 75deg.  It does not need them at 75 at all.  I 
always let it warm up a little before moving also...
