It's currently 10 deg here now. Supposed to be 3 deg before the night is over. That's cold enough for me.

100W incandescent bulbs. Can't buy them anymore.. Some Politician banned the sale of 40watt and up. I miss them. There are places in the house that demand the quick warm light of an incandescent.

what about those 300 watt work lights that take a 5 or 6inch long skinny bulb? I have one of those on a stand as a work light I use in the winter because they put out alot of heat!

Pick up one of these or something like it. Put it under the tractor or aim it so that it blows under the engine. Toss a tarp over the tractor to keep the heat in and you should be good to fire up.

Yea, but I was in a dollar store the other day and happened to run across 97W and 74W bulbs. They eliminated the 75 and 100 and possibly 60's but these other odd wattage bulbs are springing up.

You are OK. Those are considered 'Specialty' bulbs and are still available. Besides I think those are Halogen

Wow, I wonder if the bulb companies are playing politics with the politicians by making odd wattage bulbs. I know hat when this law passed, Westinghouse closed their last Plant in America because they made these bulbs.
We need to bring some manufacturing back here or we hold no cards if these other countries decide to stop importing to a bankrupt country

Got a small ceramic one for years, I like to heat the toilet seat cover with it! LMAO (Kidding)

Here a redneck POS who look funny!

(Using a old toaster is not a bad idea but the design may need some "Major upgrade" )

Last year my 782 was in the garage SO COLD!!! I used a mini ceramic heater under the engine. Left it there for like 15 to 20 min with a old fabric tarp over the engine, Worked perfect. I also used a battery trickle charger makes a big difference.
never tried it but I have been told by several people to use the small battery heating pads.

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.
