[Farmall] Starting in the Cold

[L W Schnell]

The obvious things that assist in cold starting are good spark plugs, 
wires, points with correct gap, etc.  It goes without saying that the 
battery needs to be good.  On these older tractors with 6 volt systems 
it's particularly important to make sure the cable connections are clean 
& tight.  I've also found that using a 10W-30 motor oil significantly 
increases cranking speed when cold.
