Hi, we had a 300U from 1958 till 1962 and would have the same problem when it was cold in the winter. You would have to run with the choke 1/2 on for 10 to 15 minutes before it would run properly when it was -15F or colder. It would cough and sputter until the engine got up to temp. We would cover the front of the radiator with bran sack to make it warm up faster. We also had a JD 420U and it would start right up and could shut the choke off in 30 sec.
My dad also said the 300 had a cold blooded engine.

My 2 CDN cents
