Being it was around -27 or so here in Southern Minnesota this morning, got me thinking about the best/worst tractor you have ever owned or used in extreme cold weather. For me, my worst tractor was a 1948 Farmall M with loader. This tractor would never start in cold or decently warm weather. It was always shedded, tunes up, good fuel(gas) even with a block heater on it plugged in. I hated this tractor for the 9 years I owned it. Never was reliable anytime of year. The best starting tractor I ever had was a 1953 Allis Chalmers WD45 gas. It had a trip bucket loader onit as well. This tractor never needed a block heater. It always started even when it got -20 or more. Yes tractor was shedded too. I could always rely on this tractor for manure hauling, snow pushing, or whatever I needed it to do. I would like to read some of your tractor adventures now. Sorry if this question was already asked.
