First off I have to admit I have not worked on it that long at a time yet, but I still can not start the darn thing. At first it would not even begin to turn over... solenoid would "lightly" click and nothing. Figured it was just too darn cold... 5 degrees at the time. Put the charger on the battery to warm it up, still nothing when it was real cold. Battery and cables are not very old, maybe 2 years. Yesterday at about 20 degrees, it started, ran a few seconds, maybe 10 and died. Started, ran about 4 or 5 seconds and died. Started, ran maybe 2 seconds and died. Ah-ha, ice in the system. Bought some Heat and poured it in and figured I'd see if it starts at about 35 degrees... nothing, just like at first, just click. Cleaned the battery connections, still nothing and battery shows it's charged. New solenoid when the starter was rebuilt less then 2 years ago, and I hear it click, but doesn't sound like a real solid click. Yesterday when it did crank over and started for a short time, it cranked really strong, like it normally would.
My health does not allow for me to work on it for very long at a time in the cold... maybe just wait until warmer weather and grade the ruts out from the mud.
