Hello everyone,
not sure what it was that caused me to look for MBN again today, but here I am. Just about to venture out into -18C blizzard to see if I can get the little Kubota tractor to start. I'm not hopeful, expecting to have to drain the coolant, warm it up, and see if that's OK. Maybe head out to buy a new engine heater to replace the one I broke investigating it this time last year (which led to the discovery of a failed water pump that I *did* finally replace).

cheers,
Andrew
