For you folks who live up North. I have an old International 1486 that when it gets cold the hydraulics won't work. If you know the 86 series International EVERYTHING is hydraulic, clutch, brakes, steering, lifts, ... This has been an unusually cold Winter and every time I get ready to put hay out I have to put a heat lamp on the transmission case for a couple of hours just so I can move the tractor. There is a block heater for the engine but nothing for the transmission. Any ideas? Commercial transmission heaters? Thinner hydraulic/transmission oil?
Thanks,
Thanks,
