Re: jd440 icd ..not starting
No glow plugs, and unit injectors, so difficult to check compression without correct adapters.
It's a Detroit, spin it over, see if you have smoke, if so, it will go. The 53 series are hard starters even in warmer weather. I would check fuel system first.
Yours is in the shop right now doing some work for the customer.

Everything Lavoy said.
The recommended compression test by Detroit Diesel and in the John Deere manual is a engine running compressing test with the adapter in the injector hole.
If the engine you are trying to start has a block heater, plug it in for and hour or so. If not put a space heater blowing on the engine blowing toward the blower and back towards the air cleaner.
On any diesel but especially a low compression Detroit engine cranking speed is very important. A good battery good starter clean connections are a must. A big battery charger with a boost setting will help.
