Default Mysteries of cold starting

For 15 years I have been using a very tired M38 CDN as a snow plow. Ugly body, messy engine compartment, low compression, missing all the collectible jewelry sold off to dress up it's restored cousins. This jeep has no reason to keep running but I can start it up and plow to my hearts content at the lowest temperature. It sits in the farm field all summer, then starts right up when winter comes again. A great example of the jeep that would never let you down. A thing of legends.
Yet, so many of us have fully restored hobby vehicles that have trouble starting after a few days of sitting. How come? Brian
