[AT] And Now For Something Different - A Tractor Problem

[Cecil Bearden]

if you can get a magnetic heater put it on the oil sump and keep the oil 
warm when it is sitting.  You might try putting a little kerosene in the 
oil, or some Marvel Mystery oil to lighten up the viscosity.

Sometimes if it runs an hour or so it warms up enough for these functions to work.  Sometimes not.  Appears that the hydraulic system is frozen up.  But I have just replaced all the fluid and filter last fall and the tractor has not run an hour since then.
