I agree that it is probably not going to need severe choking. I ussually full choke 2 to 3 engine strokes and let off. If it don't fire up after several strokes after that, I might hit the choke again for a couple of strokes. Solid choking will likely flood the tractor right about the time it would of fired up if you would of let off the choke. Any ailment in the elctrical system (battery, starter, cables, connections) will be more apt to give you trouble in real cold weather. The first thing you will notice on that is the battery won't turn the tractor over like it should, or maybe act like it is dead. Maybe dump a thing of knox-ice or heat in the gas to insure moisture in gas lines don't freeze up. You may also wish to run a thinner oil in the engine during winter months (personally I don't mess with doing that). If I only have to do something short and basic, I will start tractor and do it during the warmest portion of the day, wich helps too.
