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.

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?
