To be fair it was -30°C that day. Pair of vise grips and back in business. 15W40 oil too.
15W-40 oil at minus 30? You're kidding, right?
No. We do it. Two Oliver gas tractors, on rakes in summer, plus other duties, backup generators in winter. Because I know they will start when needed.

The oil must be like thick grease at those temperatures. I wonder how long it goes without oil pressure when first fired off?
15W-40 is recommended for no lower than 15 degrees above.
Nope, not kidding. Oil pressure gauge comes up as quick in the winter as the summer. 10k hours and never had a problem yet. Pickup
(6.7 Cummins
), semi and everything else has 15w40 year round and gets started in the winter, no reason this tractor will be any different.
Just how bad were gas tractors?
