1. Starts better than our 98 Kubota 3 banger in 30*F weather...
2. ford tractors never had glow plugs they had a heater system
3. Excess fuel button plus a little heat always works. Hate to see people on here endlessly grinding tractors over on the starter trying to get them to go..........
4. Excess fuel button is enough usually enough most times for ours. We love our old Fords..
5. yea..sounds nice...!
6. built ford tough
7. Nothing wrong with that diesel engine ! I was surprised that it was as quiet as it was too.
8. Really Cool. they are still doing job though they are old tractors. but they are said to drink oil more when you compare MF 165 168
9. Awesome my dad owns Fordson major 5000
10. Cool video.
    Great tractor.
    Thanks.
11. Good old ford 5000, sounds well!! The body work is very rusty though, typical ford tin, always gets bad!!!!!!!
12. Some new videos! Including one where this tractor loses its ROPS canopy!
13. I suppose that glow-plug was as standard on these in 1965 since it's documented on original user's manual.
    And yes, it makes cold start little easier, IF battery is ok.
14. Never saw one of those with 'glow' facility before. Only saw the 'excess fuel' for cold start. They were always pigs to start below zero. Glow makes a big difference I see..
15. Yep, warming up is needed, during the night temp was lower than -20celsius, so I guess that old iron was still on those temperatures when starting. And there's about 40litres of oil in total to be warmed up before "real" work starts.
16. Hey BOOB BADGER, it's a diesel, they don't have carburetors. 
17. Now that's the way to do it, he lets the tractor warm up without to much throttle.
18. lol 
19. Yep! At least you get sweaty when you operate it in a hurry, no power steering...
20. Thanks! And it's really reliable!
