Now that you have it out in the field (don't do that again-let it run for a half an hour by the barn next time) put a tarp over the whole thing and weight it down pretty good and then stick a torpedo heater in between the rear wheels. You can get that whole tractor hot to the touch given enough time. Be careful that you don't melt anything like rubber parts. While it's doing that, go get some winter diesel.
