I have a 1966 B414 diesel. It was -24c this past Saturday at my place. I needed to clear the snow from my driveway and yard so I started the tractor up and let it warm up for 1/2 hour. I jumped on and went to lift the loader but there was no response. I tried the 3 pt and the same result - no response. I let the tractor run for another 1/2 hour and tried again but again no response from the hydraulics. The temperatures warmed up over night and Sunday morning it was -9c. I started up the tractor let it warm up for 15 mins and this time the loader and 3 pt responded immediately. The hydraulic fluid was drained and replaced with new HyTrans this last summer. Is there something I should look at that needs replacing/repairing? Would a magnetic pan heater applied against the resevoir tank help at all? If anyone can offer suggestions to improve my hydraulics behavior in cold weather I would be very grateful. Thanks Ken in Alberta
