Yes, crank with the clutch engaged and in neutral. If you get a inline hose heater keep in mind that the cub has no waterpump and depends on thermosiphoning for circulation and you don't want to restrict this. Also with no thermostat it may circulate as the heater heats it and end up cooling off much of the heated water before it get back to the block. An engine wdith a thermostat would block the flow of water until it had heated up to 180 or so degrees. Maybe in winter it wouldn't matter,the heater restricting the flow of water in the hose, but it might in summer. In winter my Dad covers the radiator screen with a piece of camvas to keep it running warmer. We have installed a temp gage in the upper radiator hose so it can be monitored. Like to keep it running up near 180 degrees. Am in western R.I.
