Anyone else notice that the keyhole freezes easily?

Twice this week now I went to use the tractor, and couldn't start it because
I could not get the key in.

Guess I will have to get out the hair dryer and warm it up.

I'm thinking of fabbing something up to cover the opening.

Maybe some of that squirt-in graphite?

I yearly spray all my vehicle locks with WD-40 and that works for me.
In fact I sort of really flush them using the little tube that comes with the can.

Excellent ideas, I'm going to spray it right now.
I'll let you know how it turns out.
