Pssst. Punctuation marks belong inside quotation marks.
Not always... I just can't remember the rules off the top of my head.

I know, and I still make that mistake frequently....Sister Giles would be terribly upset with me!

Is this a forum for tractor owners or one for spinster school teachers and retired nuns?

I've read enough of your posts to know that your correction was in good humor, and I hope mine didn't come across as nasty, either. I just wanted in on the fun!
I think this is what you're looking for... www.hotschoolteachersandnuns.com

Little bit of both, I think!
Boy, that was some sticky snow this morning!!! How'd you make out? That repair hold up on your plow?
Looks like some pretty significant snow this coming Thursday and Friday...total (over both days) should be in the 20 inch range.

The teachers are welcome as long as they stick to the punctures in their tractor tires and leave our punctuation and hunt and peck typing be.
Yah very sticky snow. I took one of the wings off the plow and oiled the blade with veggie oil to get it to roll off the end. I opened it up last night and have it all cleaned up now. The repair is holding up so far but I need to get the welder plugged in and ready. Off to Welch's for 8 gauge wire and a dryer plug outlet.

Ditto AND yes, a diesel should be idled at 1200 RPM or higher to prevent 'cylinder wash-down'

There is a more current thread on this subject. Active in the last 2 weeks.
I find she cracks off about a 1/16 throttle around 1000 RPMs or so. I usually turn the engine over twice and then hit the glow plugs for ten seconds and the next turn will start. From there a few seconds to settle out and up to 1500 while we collect the tools etc. and off we go.

Apparent lean condition in cold temperatures is because the liquid fuel can't absorb enough heat to flash into vapour.
Hence using the higher power air to fuel ratio on cold starts.
Of course warmup is a mute point for anybody having the common sense to plug in the block heater. Instead of clattering a cold engine to life with starting assist devices .
The warm engine starts faster, less strain on the electrical system. Less cylinder wall wear and less crankcase oil dilution . Instant heat to the windshield defroster if so equipped.
Odd how the same guys who can't oil and filters at 100hrs and 3000 miles to "make the engine last longer". They have no concerns making that stone cold engine fire with grid heaters, flow plugs or ether.

Some people fuss and let thier tractor run and run and run to "warm up". Yet they jump into the car of truck, start it and have it yanked into gear while there is still a low oil pressure warning on the dash.

I agree....I either warm the car or I barely idle up as I first drive out..
