You beat me to it, Shortgrass.

Hope all have a safe and profitable winter season.

How cold was it, Jody? I didn't think 50/50 blend would jell. Must have had some h20 in it.

Once you get it thawed one of the best things you can do is cover the sides of the engine compartment - - - even a couple of flattened cardboard boxes tied on with baling twine will make a great differance!

Your fuel lines will take on heat from the engine and carry it back to the fuel tank instead of cooling the fuel in the tank!

Then when you get time you can make some nicer looking side for future use.

it stored in an above ground metal tank, probally needs a new water seperator filter on the fill tank, as it probally was just a little bit of water.it was -20 for 2 days the 2nd day the breaker got flipped on the cords to the tractor got it running and idled for 15 min. but those small plastic like fuel line must of got the little bit of water just right.
