My M is my loader tractor. Has to start in all temps. Today it was just above the single digits and she rolled over pretty slow even though it is 12 volt. It isn't the coldest she has had to start in by a long shot, but any colder and I would plug it in.
Got me to thinking - has anyone had to hand crank their M under those conditions? I can't even imagine what it would be like. I have cranked smaller motors, but the M is a whopper. I guess if I had to I would probably belt it up. Makes me understand why the old timers heated water on the stove to pour in them.
So, anyone out there hand crank an M in cold weather (and get it to start)?
