Since the pole had a 3 ft snowdrift , I just plugged </p><p class=MsoNormal>the cord into the tank heater and headed to the warm house.

I noticed the </p><p class=MsoNormal>tractor started ok, but seemed to be a little stiff as the engine fired </p><p class=MsoNormal>and revved up. The next 2 days in the snow it started up but seemed to </p><p class=MsoNormal>be stiff. I always let it run at idle for a few minutes before opening </p><p class=MsoNormal>the throttle up and moving. I bladed the snow off on Sunday and </p><p class=MsoNormal>noticed that the extension cord had never been plugged in to the </p><p class=MsoNormal>outlet!!!
