I have a JD 3020 gas. Once I put in a Zener carb and an electronic ignition is starts well in the cold (SD cold). I also moved the battery up by the starter and put in thick cables, but that was mainly due to the suitcase batteries being expensive and not having as much oomph (CCA). Nowadays they are more readily available and in greater potencies, so that probably wouldn't be necessary.
It is a thirsty bugger, and I wouldn't want one if I had to use it more often (like, to plow all day). Parts are available, but JD is very proud of them and they cost a lot. The slowest reverse gear is a little faster than I would like for blowing snow, but it is plenty powerful. I run an IH-80 (7 foot?) snow blower and it does fine in our cold, fluffy snow. Not sure how it would if you mainly got thick/wet/heavy snow.
I'd seriously consider an older Ford if I was starting from scratch. 4 or three cylinder 4000?

After considerable advise and assistance from local tractor nuts and the forums of Yesterday�s Tractors, I had finally got it running pretty well. I have tuned it up, overhauled the carburetor, installed a borrowed, rebuilt magneto, installed a new Power-Trol, patched the radiator, installed new front wheels a
