[QUOTE="Ouachita, post: 1779399, member: 16802"] Thanks Chevy. I didn’t mean new starter. I had mine “overhauled” at the local shop. I do suspect I should replace the battery cables, although all terminals are clean and nothing visibility wrong. I know big electrical cables can corrode within the insulation. My tractor starts good down to freezing temp. Even down to 20*F it’ll start if I plug in the block heater. Below 20* it gets exponentially slower cranking. There’s a remarkable difference in cranking speed from 20* to 0* degrees. I was thinking some gentle and easy assist of warming the oil with a magnetic heater would solve my problems for the handful of days per winter that I need it. I’m going to order some 0W-40 oil tomorrow and give that a shot. [/QUOTE]
