SU1500 starting problems

I'm trying to find engine specs for a SD1500.<br>
Mine starts really hard. I've removed the glow plugs, cleaned them and tested them and they are working. I've taken a compression test on the cylinders and they read 180 & 185. i installed a new 800 cranking amps battery but it still starts very hard. I have to glow plug it and try to start, reglow plug it and try and start again, and continue this until after about 10 tries it will start. Each time I try to start it it acts as if it will start and then it doesn't.<br>
<br>
Any ideas!!! Someone told me that maybe the valves need adjusting.

Is there a trick to getting these to start. I use the glow plugs but it's still really starts hard. Have to crank and crank to get it to start. What are you suppose to do with the compression release while your trying to start it.

Can someone tell me how to figure out what year of tractor I have.<br>

Also, this is the first 2 cyl. deisal that I've owned. Are they all really noisy? When idling it sounds like it is knocking. My SU1500 Shibraura 2 cyl. sounds the same way.
