I think we have all been told not to crank longer than ten or fifteen seconds,
or our starter motors will expire. This guy's starter must have been glowing red by the time
his engine started.
But in really cold weather, on an older tractor, and avoiding ether...,
isn't there a point where you are losing too much hard gained heat by letting it sit there, even with a preheat on?
Not like that starter is going to cool off real quickly either.
I guess it's how robust your starter is, for sure.
