" You didn't dare kill it hot as it would not start until it cooled down... " One night on this site, the conversation got around to talking about V4 Wisconsin engines and the fact that they would flood, fill the engine with boiling gas fumes due to the carb being on top of that hot little engine and right under the red hot exhaust manifold. this would boil any gas in the carb and hopelessly flood the hand cranked engine. We had that same problem with the little air cooled Wisconsin in the 22-36 pictured below. During the hard hot starting Wisconsin thread on this site, one fellow said their used to be a concoction of several products including Marvel Mystery oil to mix with the gas to raise the fuels boiling point and relieve the hot flooding. Another fellow chimed in with the modern equivalent of that mix. He said mix a good 50/1 2 cycle oil at 1/2 strength, 100/1 in the Wisconsin's gas tank. We got a chance to try out that mixture last fall at the local threshing show parade. Mixed Sthil 50/1 oil at 100/1 and ran the hour long parade in 80 degree weather. After the parade we shut it down to let everything heat soak for 5 minuites or so. The tractor hood was burn you hand hot, and engine so heat soaked that it normally would be impossible to start. The engine spun maybe 2 turns and idled to life without even a puff of black smoke. Ha, had we only known that 50 years ago when we had one on a Case combine. ;-)

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
