Did you winterize the Cub? As in, did you change the oil from say straight 30w to 10w30 etc..? Some have to and some don't. Cub's don't much like cold thick oil, so you can get an engine warmer -- like a battery blanket. Some are magnetic and stick to the oil pon (don't know how good that is),

My Cub does start well in the winter and I do not change anything from summer to winter. Course I keep my Cub in a barn along with my other tractors. My Cub is on 6v 30 wt oil and she starts all the time. The only time she won't start in the winter is when she is left outside.....

If all other factors have been covered then most likely enclosed shelter would be the fix. It appears that your Cub is stored in an open ended shelter. Even it you just tarped the openings to keep the weather out. And a lot of warmth in......
