That would work but no cars are not close enough.

Do you have any cans of sterno like they use for heating food? If you do put a couple under the engine. You may have to remove a battery from a car and lug it to the tractor to jump it. Other than that I think your screwed.

i am not sure why you need to heat up a gas engine. i have a cub loboy 154 that has a S/G and it started here the other day at -15 and its a pile of crap. are people sure their tractors dont need tune ups or something? do they just not turn over or turning and just wont fire? the only time ive ever had a car or anything not start because of cold is because it was in a poor state of tune. any slight issue with carb and ignition parts will be greatly amplified in the cold. heck my 1st gen cummins will start at -5 without being plugged in.

Mine turns over just very slow so I don't know if its engine issues or hydrolic issues.

I may get flack for this but you could try some carb/brake cleaner or just dump a little gas down the carb to give it a quick initial kick if you really need it. Not the best thing to do but it works in a pinch.

It's gotta be able to crank (relatively) quickly to fire. Borrow the battery from the car & jump it. Otherwise grab your shovel.

Why didn't you address the hard starting before it was an emergency?

A relatively quick and easy thing to do is check your grounds. Remove, make sure they're clean, and put 'em back together. If it's still cranking slow then I'd bet your battery is tired. If you have time, take it (and a car battery or whatever) inside to warm it up. Batteries always work better when warm. At this point, every little bit helps.

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.
