Lots of really good answers! Thanks.

Where I am, we don't have real cold temps, but it is wet all winter. Once in a while we'll have a few days in the teens or 20s. I don't use my tractor much in the winter, but when it is around 30 or lower and I need to run it, I'll use my hot air gun and blow in the intake while cranking it. Starts pretty easily with that and I figure it's less wear and tear on the starter and battery. No glow plugs or pre-heater on the old Oliver/David Brown.

The neighbor's gas Ford usually sat all winter in a lean-to. Every spring the inside of the distributor was just a mess of corrosion. That's the reason he just changed all the distributor parts every spring. If it had been in a garage or something, it probably would not have been so bad.

The fuel usage difference came to light when his tractor had a problem with the transmission and he had hay that needed mowing, raked, and baled. I loaned him my tractor to run his equipment. When he brought it back he also brought 10 gallons of diesel in jugs. He had bought about what he figured he used with his tractor to get his hay in, but ended up with the 10 gallons left over.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea ... [Read Article]
