Thanks for the responses. I'll reply to a couple of things mentioned: I changed the fuel filters last summer after I bought it (that was very much needed) and the oil in the oil bath air filter. The tractor does smoke a lot, both through the exhaust and through the crankcase ventilation, but it mostly clears up when warmed up and with the RPM's up. But it clearly has some ring wear and the injectors probably need servicing. My first choice was to use a block heater, but as I mentioned, it has a screw in plug (rather than a knockout plug) that is reported to be very hard to get out after almost 40 years, and you have to take off the starter, which is a bit of a job on this tractor (the bolt on the engine side is really hard to get to...you about have to take the engine off of it instead of the other way around). I think I'll go ahead and try the radiator hose heater, since several of you have indicated no problems. Since I won't be leaving it plugged in very long or very often, I hope that it won't cause any sort of problem.
