Even though I will never see 55 again I’ve never owned (or tried to start) a vehicle that had a manual choke. Well, with my new 860, my lack of experience may have hurt me some last Sunday when I tried to start my tractor (and only succeed in running down my 6 volt battery) in the middle of the current deep freeze. My question is; what process do you use to choke when starting in cold weather? I was told I should have used full choke and cranked until it starts/tires to fire then go to about half choke, crank until it starts then keep it there until it warms up a bit. How do youall do this? I’m in Southwest Michigan and we generally get into the single digits with an occasional foray into the subzero temperatures during the winter. Currently the tractor is sitting in a neighbor’s barn waiting for spring. Thanks in advance for any advise you could give. Dale
