So what's the thought on cold start RPM's?
My instinct is that it's not good to lug it while it's cold.
Better to rev it up just a tad and distribute oil sooner.

By the way that's a great starting engine even in warm weather!
 
Apache That?s interesting to think about ? This
engine will build oil pressure almost instantly it runs
about 45 psi hot or cold . The engine in this tractor
only has 2500 hours on it . Gave it a complete
rebuild from top to bottom new valves valve guides
new pistons rings new sleeves new piston pin
bushings new cam . new cam bearings new main
bearings new rod bearings new piston pins, new
injection pump new oil pump new water pump had
the crank polished , new rocker arms new damper
pulley the only that didn?t get replaced was the
crank and the gears under the front cover and the
block .
 

Apache, there is a big difference between lugging and idling. as soon as you add fuel it adds incrementally more force against the bearings. The bigger thing though is that as you know all diesels "rattle" to some degree when first started because the piston is not yet expanded to its close fitting hot size. Giving it that shot of fuel and speeding it up before the expansion takes place and clearances get to where they need to be, though unlikely, can cause damage.
