Engine heaters
Hey guys, I was seeing if any of you have to put your Cub outside for the winter. I have a 1864 to blow snow and only a single car garage so there is time for it to sit outside sometimes. Who out there has used those magnetic block heaters and do they do the job. I have 10w-30 in it right now but it makes me nervous to even try and start it below zero up here in Minnesota. Thanks.

Magnetic mount won't stick to an aluminum block.
If it starts, you're fine. Just run it at the lowest setting it will stay running at for a few minutes. Kick up to half, let it run a while, then you should be fine.

A few 2x4 with a big tarp, a trickle charger to keep the battery fully charge, follow the procedure Jonathan share with you and change the Dino for Synth if necessary.
I let mine outside in the truck shelter and he start at -15C without spraying ether in the carb :-)

With me having a lack of a garage my machine usualy sit outside (I work on all kinds of stuff in my heated shed) I have a waterproof battery tender that I used to have on my motorcycle and I keep it on there. Absolutly zero issues with starting in the cold even in negitive temps.

I use one of those magnetic block heaters on my 1572. I have it connected through one of those cheapo appliance timers. If I know a storm is on the way, I plug it in and set the timer to turn the heater on 2-3 hours before I need to use the tractor.

Just stick a 100W light bulb under the hood and turn it on.

When I lived in Canada I had those stick-on battery heaters on the oil pan, the battery and the bottom of rear axle housing.
Had one on the truck that you spliced into the heater hose so that it pumped warm fluid throughout. That was a fine luxury when starting out in the morning to have heater heat right away.

Well guys I just went out to see if the 1864 would start and it just clicked at the starter. It is about -10 here and wanted to see what it would do. It had done this before, but in warmer temps, but it finaly cranked after a few attempts. This time it was 20 plus and nothing, now I'm thinking about that relay modification I thought I read about somewhere about the starter. Any help would be nice.

Sounds like you may also need a new battery. But, it also sounds cold where you are.....

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
