A friend from Alberta once mentioned that he had a White tractor that he was using to move logs in -40 degree weather. I don't know how easily it started or whether he used a block heater or not but he did mention that while dragging a log he drove accross a small rut. When the tractor wheel bounced off the bottom of the rut the rear axle broke. He claimed that the temperature had essentially crystalized the metal and made it quite brittle. It seemed like a reasonable theory to me. He said that was the last time he used it in weather that was that cold as changing the axle in the field was a colossal chore.
