[AT] Yellow Farmall now cold starting

[charlie hill]

If I know I'm going to have to start mine I put a heat lamp or big light 
bulb up near the intake and throw a tarp or some sort of cover over the 
engine to hold the heat in.

I'm sure it would work Herb. As would a kettle of boiling water poured on
the intake manifold. We have used that on the grain auger engines in the
past. The manifold heating seems to help most engines and its not a new
concept. My 730 Case diesel has a 12 volt coil heater built right into the
intake manifold and it makes a world of difference even on a cool summer
day.
