Steve: It's been awhile, how have you been? Still running the C. It's not going to snow in NW Iowa this winter. LOL You wont need the tractor. LOL
Seriously, I think you should lighten up on that oil. Personally I go with 15W-40 diesel grade year around. You probably need to tune that engine a bit. Properly tuned and with right oil, the old C is good for -40. I also know your not going to use the tractor below -30. Old tractor may be willing but the flesh wont be.
My brother has shaped insulated heat pad formed to fit snugly around his Farmall 230 oil pan. If he thinks he may need the tractor he plugs that in night before. At -20 it will have warm oil in the morning, and from there, heat only rises.
Now, your not getting off that easy, how is the disk working? Did you ever do anything with the other 20 blades, spacers and bearings. I've built 3 disks lately, starting to practice what I preach.

Good to see you on YT, don't wait another 4 years to come back.

Rustic places with cheerful names like "The Griffin" "Red Lion" or "The Plough and Harrow" are found dotted around the country lanes all over the place. The warm glow of yellowish light can be seen for quite some distance at dusk, and
