I’m off-grid, so those options don’t work for me.
Off-grid doesn’t mean no electricity. Upgrade your setup. Maybe build a garage with a wood stove or something.

How long did it take to start? Did you have to use ether? These cold starts are tough.
Be careful with ether. It can strip the cylinder walls and reduce compression over time.
@Kris
Oh, come on, live a little. A little ether won’t hurt.
Looks like you’re pre-emptively fogging for mosquitoes!

It’s called a mosquito abatement vehicle. Pretty sure the dealer charges extra for that feature.

Totally worth it.
Use an oil pan heater and keep some treated diesel inside where it’s warm. Pour it into the fuel bowl right before starting. It’ll fire up quicker.
She’s not happy, huh?

Not at all.
Do you use a block heater?

No, it’s been dead for a while. I live off-grid, so I don’t usually plug it in. This was after sitting outside our shop for 20 hours.

It only gets down to 30 degrees where I live, so I’ve never had to deal with anything like this.
