Cold start 1978 Ford 550 backhoe


I looked at the thermometer when I came back in and it was actually about 19°F. This ’78 550 uses a 201 cubic inch 3-cylinder diesel with a manifld heater for cold start assist. The heater drips diesel fuel onto a resistance element in the intake manifold, igniting the fuel and waming the manifold. In very cold weather, the battery voltage is low enough that the fuel won’t light off, so I just plug it in when I need it to start in the winter.
