U1300L with OM366A engine. I've started them in colder than that. -20F -28C is about as cold as I've done without ether. They are definitely reluctant but they usually start without ether at that temp but they need good batteries. With a shot of ether I've started Unimogs at close to -40F -40C although it sometimes takes a few tries. They definitely don't like the cold but I've never not been able to start one because of the temp, even with tired old engines with lots of hours.
Old Mercedes-Benzs' never die.
No glow plugs for 35+years old truck with mechanical injection?? Impressesive :)
Thanks for making this.! It seems a bit of an art and I was doing it all wrong. Guess I will have to wait until next year to try again.
What model is this one?
