Sorta off topic but not- when starting my dad's 53 farmall H in the real real cold I have to start it with the clutch in. The engine will warm up for about 2 min (with the clutch still in) and then I let it out slowly. I've stalled the engine before just trying to get it to turn the 90wt rear end oil in neutral.
