 D's fuel system and get it started. I had to bleed the sediment bowl, 
 the filters, the pump, and the individual injector lines, and it seems 
 fine now. Maybe I need to put more anti-gel in that I had been using...
 
 I guess I need to replace the batteries in both the Super M and 340 - 
 even after sitting on the chargers overnight, neither one of them would 
 turn over enough to fire up. The 340 never was very good, and I partly 
 blame the position of the battery at the back of the tractor. I am going 
 to have to check the grounds when the weather gets warmer. But the Super 
 M just needs a new battery - I think it must be at least 7 years old and 
 spent almost all that time just sitting, which is not good for them at 
 all. There's no point in doing anything with the Super M, as it is 
 blocked by the 340. :-(
 

Received test message here in great White North. Has been terribly cold here 
with wind making it almost unbearable. Had trouble getting Farmalls to turn 
over let alone start. Battery Chargers on everything. Once it warmed up to -5C, 
I managed to get all the old girls running and took them for roll in the snow.
