I live in North Texas, Wichita Falls, and I have an 850 Ford tractor that runs on propane. It came from the factory like that. This is my first winter with it. Today it's around 40 degrees and the wind is blowing and I hadn't started the tractor in a while. It had been raining and I'm expecting a deilvery at the ranch. I though I would fire up the tractor and have it ready in case the delivery truck got stuck. I cranked and cranked and finally resorted to putting the propane torch to heat up the intake manifold to get the engine to fire. It ran on about half choke on vapor only, It's very sensitve to throttle movement and will not run on liquid. Is this a propane cold weather thing? Must be why I don't recall seeing any propane tractors in Nebraska. Any suggestions? I have a gas burning B Model Farmall if all else fails. I just don't think the Farmall would pull a one ton truck pulling a 25 foot flad bed trailer out of the mud. I'm having a pole bar delivered. Finally going to get the equipment in out of the weather and provide a home for various barn kittys for the grandkids to pet.
