Gonna have Allan kick me for this one, but I have to ask. Normally I see nothing but red in the barn, but I had a chance to pick up a green one like my great uncle had. Best as I can tell it is a 53 model 50. Not bad, not good, but it runs. Figured I would use it for hayrides for the kids at church. Problem is, when it's cold...it is really hard to start. Cranks good, just does not fire up. It will eventually start...but has to be hard on the battery. Pull it 10 feet and it pops right off. Had an old man tell me to put it in neutral and engage the clutch. He said the clutch will drag it down when cranking dis-engaged. I really do not want to engage the clutch for fear it will pop in gear or something. Anyone have any ideas? I know it needs a carb overhaul. I have already put plugs, and a tune up kit in it. Thanks in advance.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
