I have a 54 Ford NAA tractor. I'm having trouble starting it. It will turn over at least 20 times before it fires at all when its cold outside. I have put in new plugs, condensor, points, dist cap, and cleaned and adjusted carburator. I need some advice please.

Make sure fuel line is not partially clogged. If you leave sediment valve off when parked (and you should, of course) then when you get ready to start it might take awhile for enough fuel to get to carb and fill float bowl if line is not clear. Check all filters. Advice about trying ether was good, as that would point to a fuel problem such as this if it helps it to start. Also, make sure battery and cables are good for hot spark.

If you don't know how old your plug wires are change them out. Make sure your oil bath air cleaner has the right weight and amount of oil in it. These two things plus what you've already done straightened my hard starting Jube right out.

Also be careful with your choke. 99% of the time I don't choke it at all, even in very cold weather. The only time I need the choke is if it stalls right at start up then just a touch of choke and I'm on my way.

does starter fluid help? if so, it is a fuel problem.

maybe a leak in the manifold gasket. spray some wd40 on the manifold gasket - it helps to fill the minor leaks temporarily. if starting improves you have your problem.
