[Farmall] Starting in the Cold

[Mike Sloane]

The feed sack on the radiator is almost an absolute requirement for 
operating any thermosyphon cooling system in cold weather. Otherwise, 
the engine will never warm up properly. I hold mine on with 4 strong 
magnets. But I don't cover the grill completely - I leave a 3" gap at 
the top because I once had the sack freeze solid when plowing snow with 
a Cub while it was still snowing, blocking the airflow completely.
