    Nice tractor gets the job done. I wonder what I did with my Craftsman tractor. 10 out with a -10 wind chill I choke it turn the key she fires right up push the choke in and she keeps on running. This is the first winter i will use it all winter. Usually it site all winter but this fall I picked up a snowblower for it. All I did this fall was clean the carb do a little adjusting to the carb, cleaned the fuel tank. It's 30 years old and still has the original carb on it never been rebuild well at least the 15 years I have had it.

    I remember old 1950 Cockshutt 40 COOP 6volt Postive grounded system with 230 6 cylinder motor engine had have 3 gallons of Farm Gas 65 octane plus Gasoline Antifreeze bottle and 1.5 gallon of 89 or 91 Octane fuel add in fuel tank plus 1/2 gallon Deisel fuel tank full! Never had problem every month of Winters Season month's starting plus have lots power in battery too made sure and sometimes had hand crank over ! But make sure use 60 % antifreeze gel Green & 40% of water for Winters Season month's so won't freeze or crack head or block too! But I hear new 6 Volt battery with Postive grounded system type lots farmer use it same size or bigger but called a 9volt Postive grounded with higher crank amps plus more reserve amps for Winters starts ! It powerfull and no boosted a engine as much 6 volts ! But have seen them 9 volt use in old 6 Volt battery system in old 1950 car at show 3 years ago and amazing work excellent! So talk to old man he said called Power 9 Volt + and farm stores or dealers sell them get 3 year warranty or more if want no question ask on replacements as long sales recipet ! He said make sure battery terminals plus posts are clean always trouble free not change wires or nothing! I saw writing sticker has much 12 volts Negative grounded is in details! He said battery 9 little more money than 6 Volt is and much as 12 Volt for 750 Cold Cranks on 0'C temperatures is and add fluid to also ! Then all set for Hammer Mill Chop make of Corn , grains use for feed beef cows! Yes super cold days of Winters Season month's can be brutally get gas or desiel fuel engines even block heater plug in and cold starts up also take lots crank overs even Desiel glow plugs warmer up switch and need bit ether get them start with or fire heat up oil pan engine oil up too!

  • @lloydwagner3709
    @lloydwagner3709 Před 3 lety

    I had a war-time H that had only a crank start, and also a cracked block so I ran it on water only.
    Believe it or not ...
    How to start a Farmall H with a hand crank, and a leaky radiator and cracked block so you've got to run water in it instead of antifreeze, and run it when it's 30 below zero:
    1. Put 2 five gallon pails of water on the woodstove the night before.
    2. When you get up in the morning, take the water off the stove and let it cool until you can stick your hand in it for 5 seconds without cooking it.
    3. When you're coffeed up and got your boots, three jackets, two hats, and mitts on, take the two pails of water out to the tractor. Try not to spill any in your boots.
    4. Jam the clutch petal in with a stick, so you won't have to try to turn the whole gear box over when you crank the engine, because that 90 weight is thicker than molasses in January, and you WON'T be able to turn it over, even if you try.
    5. Pour the first pail of water into the radiator with the radiator and block drain plugs removed, so the water just runs through onto the snow. That will pre-warm the block a little.
    5. Quickly find the whittled wooden plugs in the snow under the seat of the tractor, and tap them into the long-ago stripped holes in the bottom of the radiator and the side of the cracked block.
    6. Pour the second bucket of hot water into the radiator.
    7. Set the choke to full, and the throttle to half (or a little more).
    8. Crank her over a half a turn, slowly, so it DOESN'T fire, until gas is squirting out of the carburetor.
    9. Set the choke to 2/3 full.
    10. Crank her over fast this time, and hope to God it starts.
    11. If it doesn't fire at all, it's probably because you forgot to pull the kill switch out. Do that quickly, then repeat steps 8 through 10.
    12. If it fires, but doesn't start, repeat steps 8 through 10.
    13. If it doesn't start in about 3 tries, get the damned water out of it QUICK, or you'll crack the block even worser. Then go back in the house and start over at step one, and cut your wood the next day instead of today.
    14. If it does start, hang three blankets over the front cowling of the tractor to keep the fan from sucking cold air in and freezing your radiator.
    15. When she's warmed up a good half an hour, (you can go in and have some coffee while doing that), take the stick off the clutch pedal, and verrrry slowly let the clutch out until you get the gear box turning. Then give that about 10 minutes to warm up before you try putting your belt pulley in gear to turn the saw rig. (If there's snow or ice on the pulley, you make a torch out of a twisted up sheet of newspaper and melt it off so your belt will stay on.)
    16. Once you've got everything spinning, you can run her all day that way. You don't shut her down at noon, of course.
    The way to avoid all this is to cut your wood in summer or fall, but who the hell does THAT?

It doesn't take much and you don't want to sling grease all over the clutch, but if it hasn't been lubed that could be the issue. Also don't forget a pump of grease for the water pump rope seals.
