300"s are notorious for very very hard starting in the winter (cold weather). First tractor I restored was a 300...started great in the spring, summer and early fall. As soon as it got cold I could crank and crank on it and if I was really lucky, it would fire but if you werent ready to feather the choke, it would die and not fire again.
Complained to my parts guy who also restores them and he said to send the carb to him and he would take care it. Something about the jets being too small and need to be drilled out to a larger size. I dont remember for sure but after that I never had a single problem starting that tractor. Feel free to call him and talk to him about it.
