[AT] cold Farmall

[charlie hill]

I think the most fun I ever had in the snow was on a car hood tied via about 
75 feet of rope to the drawbar of a Ford 5000 that was being driven in a 
tight circle in high gear in the middle of a pasture.
Down right exhilarating!  I was about 20.  Don't think I'd try it today.

Cold weather here is in the 20's to upper teens. At that temp I expect a
little difficulty cranking some of the old stuff here. I've hand cranked my
T-20 several times to go play in ice and snow and have even cranked my 12-20
Case when there was snow out. But at temps close to zero, is it reasonable
to expect this old stuff to crank reliably?
