Hey todd I am very interested in your coil set up on this tractor. Is the old coil still being used with a resistor? Did the conversion consist of putting in a new 12 volt coil with no resistor? If you look at the coil and see no resistor in front of it we can assume that it is a 12 volt coil(3ohms). If you are handy with a multimeter you could measure the resistance of the primary circuit to check out the ohms. IMHO It would be much cheaper for you in the long run to make sure your tractor is set up with a bypass low ohm coil(1.3) resistor type coil set up for cold weather starting than farting around with plugging it in and warming your battery. My old tractors with mags start very well down to -15 degrees .
and always shut the gas off , and check your oil before starting. If the oil level is high , drain it and refill before starting the tractor. It means gas has gotten into your oil. I feel comfortable with the old brass needles that leak , and shut the gas off every time I stop the tractor. If you do a carb job do not put in float needle that has a nitrile (rubber)tip. These start sticking closed and are the biggest pain. good luck George

Today's Featured Article - Talk of the Town: Winterizing Engines - To Drain or Not to Drain? - by Russ Berry. What is this strange attraction I have to equipment and machinery? How did I get this way? I came from the suburbs and own a small horse farm in rural Loudoun County, Virginia. You can call me a "weekend farmer." The local farmers do. Does it bother me? No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction? How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
