One of five tractors started, ready for work

[WayneB]

It was -4 Fah, waited till it warmed to 10-12, My ford 4000 had fired up, and began starving for fuel, ice insider had streched the filter inside. I pulled the filter and went to buy a replacement.
My Super Dexta would turn over but I couldn't get the satisfactory flame pop in the intake for it to start.
My old dexta stared with ease. So it pulled the trailer to load firewood today

Was the Dexta that started out in the weather? If yes, what was the difference between it and the Super Dexta? I too am having trouble getting a good "pop" with the heater.

No both were out in the weather. The Super Dexta will outwork the Dexta for sure, but my guess is it has never been rebuilt. I had the head off to hone the liners once I got it unstuck. Versus the Dexta has a fresh rebuild with less than 400 hours.

I'm going to pull the glow plug on the super and check it. I know it works, it puts a draw on the charger when I hit the glow switch, but the system never has the audible pop I hear on the Dexta.
With the dexta, glow till you hear the pop, hit the starter and give it one pump and its started.

Course, it could be as simple as I rebuilt the injectors on the Dexta with the rebuild, and the Super Dexta were just cleaned and put back in the head. They could be tired.
