WOW, I live a LONG ways South of you, but we're no stranger to running diesels in the cold. When I drove semi I only bought blended fuel in winter and carried gallon jugs of Power Service along with me, I used a bit more than the label instructions said. Did the same with my '96 F-250, used the same dose of Power Service, and ran couple times colder than 20 Below. That went better with 8 new glow plugs, with the factory glow plugs and 200,000 miles it started on 4 cylinders then picked up an additional cylinder about every minute. I parked in my insulated shop with the block heater plugged in, it started first thing almost instantly, loved the instant heat from the heater & defroster. Ford bragged about the fuel heater in the fuel filter canister. I looked it over really close when Son & I replumbed the pump, regulator, and filter for the second time. That heater was rated 40 watts, not amps, watts, or 3.3 amps, that isn't going to heat anything at 20 below Zero F. So load up on Power Service like your LIFE depends on it, because it might some night. I bought a Fia winter front & summer bug screen and I ran one or the other year round, I even cut out block off plates for the three rectangular holes in the front bumper. I imagine a stream of 20 below zero wind at 70 mph measuring 3 inches by 8 inches cools things off really quick. I learned a L-O-N-G time ago sliding cardboard down right against the radiator core is NOT the right way to control engine temp. Wish I had some kind of enclosure on the tractor I push snow with. DAD had a KOEHN (pronounced Cane) Tractor cab on his FARMALL 450 and 4010 Deere, was easier to get engine heat back to me on the 450, made late fall and early spring fieldwork nice and comfortable. I can get the engine warm, just need a way to get heat back to me.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
