Massey Ferguson 65 Mk II - Cold start of the Perkins 203 engine

Cold starting my Massey Ferguson 65 after sitting for two months, it was around 0 to -5 degree celsius this day.
This tractor is a renovation in progress. Most of the mechanics is overhauled at this point. Future jobs include to renovate and paint the cabin, hood and other body parts.
The pre-heater was not plugged in due to unknown function. I rewired the electric system while converting to AC generator, but forgot to hook up the pre-heater (mentioned as glow plugs in the video).

Some of the older massey tractors had a fuel heater attached to the intake manifold to activate you turn the key to the left for 10sec then turn right to start in the usual manner

This one had a complete electric system rebuild. I had just not come to the point of re-connecting the "flame heater" to my new key-switch.

Tip to myself, blab less and record more engine sound. :)
