[AT] Yellow Farmall now cold starting

[charlie hill]

Herb that's a good idea!   Speaking of that.  I always wondered if a small 
inline blower, like a 12 volt bilge blower for a boat would provide any 
significant boost to the intake of a tractor engine.
I've also thought about taking the fan off of my D-14 and putting an 
electric unit for a modern car or truck on it to blow the air through the 
radiator from back to front like modern tractors do.  Might really help when 
bush hogging weedy fields.  A good one wire alternator would run both with 
no problem.   As for the blower on the intake, would pressurizing the intake 
mess up the atomization in the carb?
I think one of those bilge blowers would slip right in an AC oil bath filter 
housing.  Since tractor engines don't depend on vacuum advance I don't see 
why it wouldn't work as long as it didn't screw up the function of the carb. 
Don't know if it would do any good or not.

Barbara's electric hair dryer discharging into the Allis G air intake was
very successful one cold day.
