There were many tractors that came OEM with intake-manifold air heaters. Case, Ford, Allis Chalmers, SAME, etc. I never had one yet that seemed to help much.

It's the combustion chamber, or precombustion chamber that needs to get warmed up. Pretty hard to do from the outside blowing hot air into the engine unless you use a lot of heat and do a lot of cranking.
