I'm not suggesting the snowthrower has anything to do with messing the timing. I'm suggesting make sure snowthrower is disengaged before trying to start the tractor. If thrower is engaged when you do try to start it, it can be very hard to start. Turning the auger by hand wouldn't affect the timing. If the thrower is indeed disengaged and tractor won't start, then check the timing is correct....Just check it.

Not-so-fun-fact: Apparently over the years the K321A engines have had timing sight holes in as many as 4 possible locations (https://onlycubcadets.net/forum/showthread.php?t=7750). I've literally just spent 45min out in the garage looking in vain for the damn thing. Can't find it for the life of me. Apparently I have the one timing sight hole that can only be seen when the engine is removed from the tractor.
 Everything that's supposed to be easy is always defeated by my sheer terrible luck with mechanical things. My mechanical difficulty setting musta gotten knocked to "HARD" mode at some point by mistake.

I'm not very experienced with these.
So you smell gas? Why do you think it's flooding? I'd have a look at the carb, more likely a fuel problem than a sudden change in timing. Pretty easy to test the muffler with some air. I doubt that is the problem.

If you are getting spark, then you may want to check the flow of fuel to the carb. What kind of carb are you running on it? Walbro?....If that is the case, I have never had any luck with those carbs and I have seen them on some of the 149's that I have come across.
You also stated that you put a heater on it. Did you put the heater on your engine or the rear of the tractor. Keep in mind that hydrostat fluid changes viscosity in the colder temperatures, so it can be more challenging to turn the cub over. Timing windows can be obscured by mice nests. Is it possible that your shroud contains a mousey nest? Billy-O also gave you good advice about making sure the snow thrower was disengaged. Just need to go through a checklist to make sure everything is considered. Cub Cadet 123

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
