I'm going to check out youtube and see if I can learn a little about that. Where does a guy find a parachute?

I've used insulated construction tarps to keep the tractors warm. In your case, I'd wrap the tractor in the insulated tarps, then run the tractor till the cables thawed.
As for the fuel system, methyl hydrate can work, as the water will tend to sit in the bottom of the tank, if the methyl hydrate separates, it's going down as well. You can also use a produce called 'Diesel Melt'. I this last cold snap, I didn't have fuel problems. I had battery problems. One battery was dead. Replace the battery that was dead, and add battery blankets, and no more problems.
