Last fall I brought home a 1939 b, non running. Went over it completely, mag. Carb, fuel lines, etc.
The other day the thermo said -4f. I thought I'd try the hand start beastey. Turning it over slowly she tried, and after a few revs it was up and running.
I had to choke the death out of the fords and open up the main jet to get the to start so that I could move hay and plow the drive.
The red machines did start hard, and took a while to warm up enough to move.
But not that old b. Had my chores done before the other tractors were warm enough to move them.
