Yeah, this is good advice and just about the only option for [some] EH65 engine owners. I would use a magnetic heater to warm the engine and hydraulic oil before starting when the temps were below 45 degrees or so. The new engine I swapped in definitely helped in the cold, such that it hasn't been an issue for me at least. That being said, I'm having issues with heat that I believe are related to the stock exhaust manifold/muffler. I plan to make a new one in the near future and will update my thread.stick on heating pads, magnetic heaters, etc certainly will help when it is cold as will synthetic oil. A good battery, cable, and connections also go a long way towards starting.
