Put on heavy coat and boots and went out to the barn. Temp was 12F, turned on the gas, pulled the choke on, hit the starter, and she started right up. 6 volt electrics and a magneto. Let it warm up a bit, found my chain, and managed to walk the new 4wd yuppy wagon right out of the ditch. Two new belivers in "Old Iron"
