Are VF4 engines difficult to start in cold weather? Mine has a magneto and hand crank. I'm planning to use it to run a IH50 snow thrower with a Farmall Cub. The Farmall Cub doesn't have the power to run it. The IH50 was made for a Cub 154 and Cub 184 which had 18 HP and a slow creeper gear. It's a project to mount it on a regular Cub, but I have all the parts and tools to do it. Old photos show a rear mounted engine driving snow throwers on Cubs. I was considering mounting the VF4 on the right side of the Cub engine which is offset to the left for a compact setup. With the extra weight of the engine and IH50 blower I think steering will be a challenge.
The Cub is kept in a insulated barn that rarely gets below 30 Deg F. even if the temp. outside is near 0 Deg F. I can heat the area when needed with a torpedo heater.
