got any charcoal for the grill make a small pile of them in a small old cake pan or something and place it under the rear end to warm that up. but watch out for fires need to keep an eye on it

I was just out again and pull the battery so we will see if that works but while I was out there I tried my Dixon which is older than me and my 1282 and both started just fine. So I'm thinking its time for a repower.

I use a Zoom Spout bottle with some 2-stroke mix in it for starting fluid.

Sounds like you need a jump start. Hook the cables up to something that runs and let it charge the battery for about five minutes before you try to start your dead Cub.

When I was a kid, I once had to pour a quart of hot oil into the crankcase of my Chevy PU to get it to start.

Bush pilot trick, they drain the oil out at nite and put it in warm in the morning

Did you manage to get this thing running? :bigthink:

I got it running with the battery out of the explorer but it was still a pain to start. I also have it stuck in the backyard lol.

They have a special tool for that problem, it's called a shovel. :ROTF1::ROTF2:

It will work on stuck vehicles too. :biggrin2:

Unless they are stuck on ice. :angry:

It's from lack of weight and chains lol. It will get out at some point.

Ron

Here's the deal. Put weights and chains on. Absolutely necessary with a blower. Before the next storm put it in the garage even if mommy's car has to stay outside. Get a heater and a battery tender. If the tractor won't run or it's stuck in a snow drift it's not doing anyone any good and mommy or you can't get out anyway. Priorities man. I've done my good deed for the day. :biggrin2:
