Grand National Roadster Show

[EDNY]

I have one Ford. It's a 1960 800 Tractor. Chevy didn't make tractors. Although a friend has a Farmall with two 235 Chevy sixes mounted in line. 

Speaking of Fords.....I have a (new) New Holland T1520 35HP 4X4 diesel tractor with hydro. It will not start right up when below 15 degrees, I played with it today for a hour to finally get it started (5 degrees today). I had to put a salamander type heater under the engine for about 20 minutes. It's in my work shop that I only keep heated when I'm in during the day..but I keep the block heater plugged all the time.  I gets fuel and the glow plugs are working...it just doesn't like really cold weather.

The tractor only has 200hrs and has never been reliable in really cold temps. I convinced the dealer to give me a new high amp battery ..but same thing, the starter turns it barely then shuts down with a clicking sound. Been online and apparently it's a common problem with that tractor.

Should have bought the John Deere...my old 1952 Farmall McCormick W4 would start even at 20 below zero...but it was a gas engine.

Shoulda gone with the John Deere.
Some chrome wheels, and you could start the Grand National Tractor Show. 
Speaking of tractors, did I show the old Farmhill we have down here with two V8s?
One Ford small block, and one Chev small block in line. Its hardcase.

I don't know how you get from the hand formed body in the first post to Sheep Rodders? Have you been taking HAMB pills?  There's more than one bread of sheep.   Isn't Chevrolet a French name?

   Ed today is your lucky day.Up here on the farm we have this 78 OLDSMOBILE yes its a 4 door nothing fancy,BUT we tore this small eight out and put in a punched 454 with a turbo hydro transmission,That thing was a pig to start chewed up starter snouts and batteries.The remedy.We unpluged the coil wire and ran it into the car to a switch on/off,And also put on a steel snout for a gmc started special order.Then what we do now is turn the fire OFF.Turn the starter on wait till the engine is cranking at full speed and then turn the ignition on CA-Boom she starts right up sometimes when she is real cold she sputters and farts but she stays running till she warms up and then watch the gravel fly.  vette59jdwl PS we also have another switch right next to the radio with a red light on it.It is for turning out the running and brake lights. I wonder what thats for lool lol
