My suggestion is to use a "chain starter". It'll work every time. Just connect a log chain between the front of the F-14 and the rear of a 4WD pickup, put someone reliable behind its wheel, and have them put it in low range, low gear. Agree on go & stop signs. Then climb on the '14, put it in 3rd gear, make sure the mag is not grounded, make sure the gas is on, set the throttle at 1/3, put the clutch in, give the driver the go sign and after the '14 starts to move, let the clutch out. When it starts (usually in about 50 feet or less), Put in the clutch, and give the driver the stop sign. Unhook and don't let it kill until you want to shut it off or you will get to repeat the above described process. (BTW, this process works with my '12, every time I want to use it.) I've been told that even with every thing in perfect order, the '12's & '14's are the hardest crank starting tractors IH ever built. I believe it, I don't think I've started my '12 with the crank more than a dozen times in the 10 or so years that I've owned it. Now I try three to five pulls on the crank before I resorted to a chain starter. (My $0.02 worth. jal-SD)

He said that he had some corn that he still needed to pick with an antique one-row New Idea corn picker. Scott has a nice farm about an hour north of Lansing in St. Johns, MI. He wanted to get the rest of his corn in by the next day (Christmas Eve). We had about an inch of new snow on the ground and single digit temperatures. So in the bac
