Didn't run the diesel tractor in winter until I got the snow blower. Was a kid, didn't know much, was dad's 1st diesel as well so he didn't know much either.
Ran it for 2-3 years through the Minnesota winters without any fuel conditioner, a Ford 7700 on #2 (summer) fuel.
never had a problem.
Why? The tank heater that I plug in happens to be directly below the fuel filter. Plug it in for an hour or 2, and you heat up the fuel filter as well. With the double tank they have - one over the engine - it always has fuel pressure to keep pushing even thick fuel to the filter. Once it's running, the coolant keeps running through the tank heater, and the engine heat warms the top fuel tank.
Dumb luck for me. I didn't know. Took me a while to even understand the issue, or why other people had problems?

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.
