...interesting, frustrating...you name it. I was out there looking at it yesterday to get an idea on what was needed to put a tank heater on it. It has been at or below zero here for most of two weeks. Was close to zero yesterday. As a joke I pulled the starter and it fired right up, then stalled. Just like it did at 20 degrees. After the initial start it cranks weak and will not fire. I need to go back thru all the posts on this and see if I can get a clue from the responses. CLEARLY this tractor will start in cold weather. It just doesn't have enough juice to do it twice and I am just not experienced enough to tell why. But it WILL start. One thing I can tell you...it is not a choke issue. Has a new choke cable and is properly adjusted and I know how to use it. 12 volt system, new battery, new cables, starter was checked at shop, new solenoid. I'm having another run thru the previous posts. If anyone has a comment I am happy to discuss it. I feel like this is something simple and I am very close.
