So I have this vintage 65 Ford 3000 gas tractor (3 cyl) and it just doesn't want to start under 40*.
I checked the plugs and they didn't look too bad but I think they are incorrect, they are a Champion N5C , it doesn't cross to the suggested plug so I bought those, Auto Lite 405's.
I can't put them in right now as it won't start and I can't swing the battery out of the way with the loader down.
I have searched the web and found a lot of threads but not much of a cure reported back.
I want to do a complete tune up but was hoping to do that with the loader off for paint. I hate the thought of this boat anchor sitting in my driveway until spring (it's kind of in the way for plowing)
I have fresh gas in it always. Any tips and tricks?
Thanks as always,
Dave
If it matters the plugs were a bit dark but over all not bad, gap was correct.
She cranks but just won't catch, maybe I'll try two batteries hooked to it.
