You can think of the thermostart as a little oil stove in the intake manifold. It has a heating element that glows red, and then a mechanism opens up and drips some fuel on the element and it burns in the manifold, thus heating the intake air. I'm not sure how yours is activated, but some tractors had a push button near the key. On some models, the key was turned to the left to activate the heat function. On later models, the key was turned to (and held) in a position between "run" and "start" when the panel lights go out. No matter which setup you have, hold the thermostart on for 20 seconds or so, and then try starting. If this helps, but it still doesn't start, repeat the cycle until it starts. Sometimes in real cold weather, 30 seconds is better than 20. You'll get the hang of it. HTH.
