Our first winter on the farm here in MN dad and I were grinding grain just before dark. Just as we finished the tractor died. I had school the next morning so dad did chores then looked at the tractor. It was about +20F at the time. We didn't have a shop so we pulled it around by the back door after I got home from school. Then next morning a Sat, it was -30F and dad and I started to pull the tractor down as dad had found that we broke a timing gear. He's work outside for about 10 minutes then it was my turn. Late in the after noon we had it down far enough to know what parts to order. Glad it was a small AC CA. Dad got the parts ordered on Monday and he kept me home from school to help put it back together....still in the -20 to -30F range. Got it together and running late in the afternoon. Next morning it was +20F again. Use to get -30F here for a week or two at a time 2-3 times a winter. THen right after I retired from the Army we had the -60F stuff for a few days. The govenor shut down all schools in the state because of the cold. Been -20F here a couple of overnight lows this winter but haven't seen -30 in a while.
