[QUOTE="873skid, post: 132835, member: 18885"] I've had my 873 with the Deutz oil cooled motor for 20+ years and I've never heard not to start it when it's close to freezing. It lives outside and I've started it in temperature from 10 - 100 degrees fahrenheit and never had a problem. I always let it warm up before heavy use and let it idle down before shutting it off. It has 3600+ hours on it. The Deutz dealer told me to make sure it was always to the full mark on oil dipstick especially if you're operating on sloped land I think he said something about the pickup for oil could be starved if low and on a slope.
