| I'm assuming you must have a block heater on the engine? If not, that's some good tractor to start at that cold temperature! |

| Always great news to hear that an A-C is hard at work and on the job especially in adverse weather conditions. Thanks for sharing! |

185's are good tough tractor! I have a 1973 model bought new. Call it "Old Faithful"! All Old Faithful does now is help make hay and get firewood which is what it is what it's doing in the photo skidding logs.

That is way too cold for me. That is one tough tractor to handle that cold. ------------- Just an old country boy saved by the grace of God. |
