Hey John, You think maybe it might be too cold up there? It's my experience that nothing much grows above the Mason-Dixon line in the winter so whatever farming you got to do can wait until spring. If it's your driveway you're worried about I'd just get a snomobile to run down and get the mail. I know I try never to go out when it's below 50 degrees so I don't know if my tractors start below that. They always start right up in the spring, though, after sitting for two or three months if it's freezing. Now to be a little serious for a moment, I can see if you were out of beer and had to run to town, then you'd need that baby to clear the drive, but I guess that doesn't matter seein' as how you got to the tractor mechanic. Your oil might be a big blob of caramel. I'd be careful not to spin a rod bearing. Or worse yet, freeze to death out playing in the snow. Hahaha, just having fun with you guys up in "Tundra-Land." Hope it's something simple like a little moisture frozen in the float chamber, which, by-the-way, the mechanic won't find if he's warmed the carb above 25 degrees. Put some dry-gas or similar product in your tank and let it drain thru the carb for a second. Then give it a shot of starter fluid and see how she does. Any varnish build up from old gas is going to be hard as a rock below 10 degrees, also. Try cleaning the carb in a parts cleaner to remove any build up of gum and varnish. Good Luck! (Brrrrr! Getting down below 30 degrees again here tonight.) :-) NCtim
