TP: I don't know what your using for a block heater, but it should do better than 8 hours. The 282 is an ideal engine for installing a circulating heater. Just anchor it about 6" behind the injection pump and slightly above line of pump. Hook the block drain to the return side of heater and hook the heater discharge into one of the ports on the head. Do not have any loops in the hoses. My heaters were 1500 watt and at -20F if you pluged tractor in about 2 hours before use it was much like a summer time start. I had 3 of these units, one each on 560 and 656 and 3rd on a 6 cylinder Deere. They were a whole lot better set up than what came from factory in 1066. My tractors were not used daily in the winter, so it was not practical to keep them pluged in. My livestock feeding and manure handling was all done by skidsteers. The Deere being a forestry skidder did run most days all winter. If I wanted to use 1066 it had to be pluged in the night before as it had a low watt heater. The 656 and 560 two hours at the most even if they hadn't been started in two weeks. Most tractors up here were not sold with standard IH factory run batteries. We knew what climate we were dealing with and acted accordingly. We also went diesel on mass long before you guys. I have only ever seen one 6 cylinder gas Farmall in my life and that was a 460. We always paid in common dollars 40% more for fuel than you guys, thus we very quickly became quite comfortable with diesels.

Potatoes were grown for sale and oats were grown to be used for cattle and horse feeding. Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
