The older Gemmy Detroits used to have a system like that, it was a miniature oil burner that shot flame into the air box sourrounding the cylinders. But then them Gemmies were notorious hard starters in cold weather. The White Perkins had something similar to what you describe, it was called a "thermostart". The one I had never worked very well, but then I used a tank type plug in heater, which is not an option for you. If the engine is tight, in good shape, and the fuel system is in good shape, it should start pretty well unaided to at least 20 degrees F. My 1983 Deere starts unassisted to 10 degrees F. You might look to see if you can warm up the oil system somehow with a plug in heater, they have them for hydraulic systems and tanks, even if remote from the oil sump. You can also get a magnetic stick on external heater for the oil pan or some place on the engine exterior, that plus a tarp may take enough of the chill off to enable it to start. In Germany or Poland it never gets to 35 below like it does here, even most of Scandinavia is warmer than up here. But then there arent many Deutz'z here, but then again there are lots of Same's which are air cooled, too, either they start OK in the cold or their owners use other tractors when it gets real cold. excuse the long rambling post, hope you find a few nuggets of semi-useful info, good luck.

We have already talked about some of the colors the unit might leave as clues to its well-being. Now we are going to use our noses to diagnose particular smells. ELECTRICAL SMELLS
