SO I have a 87 Case.
New alternator, 2 new batteries and new start all within in the last couple years.
I have a slow drain on the batteries so I disconnect them after I'm done using the machine. Last time I started it it turned over really slow and I had to boost it directly to the starter.
A couple days ago I tried to start it and same thing, but even with boosting directly to the start with my 1/2 ton it wouldn't spin over fast enough to start. Also I was spraying cold starting fluid in the breather while cranking.
It's been -20 to -30 here that last week, the block heater has been plugged in and the engine block is warm to the touch.
I've put a slow charger on the batteries overnight with no change in results.
I guess my next step is to take the starter off and have it tested but.
going to check and see if the engine turns over freely from the crank
open to any suggestions
Thanks
Bill
