And if there's a leak in the radiator, an egg or two should seal it.If the engine turns over, check the oil level, bleed fresh diesel through it and give it a go. An extra battery in parallel might be necessary to help it turn over faster and if it still seems reluctant to fire, remove the pipe from the inlet manifold and hold a rolled up burning newspaper into it as a pre-heater.
Make sure you have water in the radiator too. People usually drained them back in the day to prevent frost damage rather than use antifreeze.
Where's the young Ms Fox? Is she on a wildgoosecat chase somewhere?
I'm guessing from my alerts that @Reynard is back from cat bothering
Evening cuppa consumed , after a quick power nap
Cat? CAT! We're country people. No-one has cats around here.
How do you have a farm without a cat? Impossible in The States
Feel free not to tell me, but I'm curious about your barn. It's a completely different construction from the Essex and Suffolk barns I deal with regularly. Whereabouts, roughly, is it, and do you know its age?
What's the difference between a power nap and a........you know.........nap?
