I picked up a cute little Pasquali tractor, has a 20HP one-lunger Lombardini diesel. Runs good, starts good, pulls like a tank. I'm well pleased.

Makes absolutely no sense to me whatever, but damned if it didn't work like a champ in 8� weather last night.
Anybody got a clue how that works?
Edited to correct name of the engine
