Keeping the carb from freezing when plowing snow.

Well, doesn't look like a new tractor is in the cards this year so the 53 super H will be pulling driveway clearing duty this winter again. Last winter I had issues with the carb freezing up. She runs like a champ in spring, summer and fall but when there is snow on the ground it will run good for about 15 minutes under load then stall out. I let is sit for about 15 minutes and she is good to go for another round. I could see ice and frost on the carb. I have seen some old pictures of farmall in winter with some type of shroud on the engine compartment, I guess this was to combat the freezing? Anyone else having or had this problem? How did you solve it? Could I wrap a heavy canvas tarp around the engine compartment to solve it?

thanks

Jim
