So I get up this morning and put out my dogs - yikes! -35C. I go to start the car (diesel Jetta) that's been plugged in all night - no way. B7500 to the rescue. It complained a little but it fired up. I let sit at around 1200 RPM while I took a shower and got ready to go to work. I went back outside and after slowly operating the treadal a few times, I moved it out of the garage and parked it next to my unwilling car. I hooked up my booster cables and got the Jetta running. I went back into the garage to grab the air hose to pump up a tire on the car (slow leak). I noticed a little puddle of hydraulic fluid on the floor. I've heard that when it's this cold, seals may leak until things warm up. A little disturbed by that, I pumped up the tire on my car. I then hear the Kubota (which is still running) starting to miss a little bit. 2 minutes later, it dies - air in the fuel line. By this time I'm about 15 minutes late. I decide to yank the key out and - for security reasons - engage the PTO. The tractor stayed in the yard the whole day. I got home tonight and tried to start it to put it back in the garage - no dice. I guess I'll be springing for one of those handy-dandy magnetic block heaters tomorrow.
