I have a "70s Ford 4000 that"s been beautifully reconditioned, but the one thing it lacks is that it takes between 30 seconds and a minute to start, if the battery doesn"t wear down in the process. It puffs white smoke out of the exhaust as it"s trying to start. Once it starts, it runs PERFECT. After it"s run for a few minutes, you can kill it and it"ll start up immediately. My first impulse was that it was a poor battery, so I went to Napa and got a $150 battery for it, just to be sure. It didn"t make a difference. Now the tractor does have the huge straight english muffler that sits about 3ft above the hood with no cap. Would it be hard-starting due to water getting in the exhaust? Thanks in adv. --Tim
