This time of year, and in wet air at 35 to 45 degrees the carb will freeze as described. putting warm air into the intake stack will help dramatically. Pull off the precleaner, and attach a radiator rubber hose to the stack. (it will need to be pretty long on this tractor as the muffler is a ways from the stack) Fabricate a shroud for the muffler that slips down over the muffler and surrounds the fat part of the muffler (made from a 6 inch galvanized stove pipe, with some supports across the top and bottom to keep it centered, with a fitting in the side to attach the above hose. This will draw warm air into the intake and prevent icing. All carbureted automobiles had them in the 60s (till carbs were phased out) to prevent this problem. Their heat was drawn from the exhaust manifold. It is ugly but effective. It can also be taken off most of the time. JimN
