This is actually a good thread. Lot's of fairly polite banter.
So. I prefer magneto's, AND my best starting tractor at any temp is my F-20 with a F-4 mag. I have yet to have ANY of my mag tractors not start within 1-2 cranks (warm weather) and 3-4 cranks (cold weather) ......if I didn't forget to turn the fuel on LOL.
I am neutral on 6v or 12v, although I personally prefer keeping the 6v system, as my tractor's are not daily work horses, but rather show and occasional work. I have NOTHING against a 12v conversion.
With all that said, I challenge everyone to explain to me, that if your ignition is well tuned, why you have to spin an F series or Letter series tractor fast? All my tractors start at low temps at hand cranking speed because I keep the ignition and fuel systems maintained. The key is properly working fuel system (carb clean and set correctly), and an ignition system in good working order. In fact, in really cold weather, I better results hand crank starting on my battery ignition tractors. Granted, I usually don't generally use the SM, so my C-113 or F20 is not that bad to crank.
all my comments do NOT apply to diesel engines.........................

He'll be busy working and I’m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I’ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I’ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see. "Run in the house and get me a...."as I open th
