Hugh, re charcoal under the oil pan and 300 starting, back in the late 50's we had a woodlot that was 7 miles from the farm and we would leave a tractor there until the snow became to deep. Sometimes when it was really cold -27F and colder, to start the JD 420U we put chainsaw gas in an old hub cap and lite it under the oil pan. In 58 we took the 300U to the woodlot. It would start most times but for insurance we would park it on a steep hill and if it would not start with the starter it would start by rolling down the hill in 5th gear and popping the clutch. With the 300U I missed all the snow showers I used to get with the overhead exhaust of the JD 420U. After a fresh snow fall, everytime you went under an evergreen the put-put exhaust of the JD would blow the snow out of the tree and down the back of your neck. Fun times of my youth. Happy New Year JB
