Looking at an ad for the 1830, I see mention of a differential lock.
Got that found?

snip of good info


I don't think there were glow-plugs on 1830's. They have a little
bathtub-faucet-looking thing under the dash with a silver cap on the
bottom. You unscrew the cap, take the top squirting thing off a can of
ether and push it up into the faucet for a second while you are cranking
it over. Usually the tiny line gets plugged where it enters the manifold
so that it won't start. Just locate the air intake behind one the
front-side grills and give it a shot in there.


I thought that's what it might be for. But the cap is stuck on but
good. Hopefully I won't need to start it in the winter, but it does
have a block heater in it.

Thanks for all the good info. Very helpful.

Would you remember what the big cast lever on the left side of the
transmission, just forward of the left axil is for? Since its not the
PTO, I can't guess what it's for.
