I have a Fordson Major Diesel. I have run it in 15 degree weather (that is Farenheit) and never had a problem starting it up. It is very fuel efficient. I can use it all day long and use less than half a tank of fuel. This is partially because I can do most work while in idle. As for working on, it is the most simple engine I have ever seen. It is a lot easier to fix than my Oliver 66 gas. It is even easier to fix than my Craftsman lawn mower. I will admit it, I am a diesel fan. I love the sound of a well tuned diesel. So my opinion is, go with a diesel.
