Foneguy, Here's a few tricks.

Spray your cable with WD-40 next time.
Just a little cap full of Heet if it's already frozen and you can get to the cable.
Hang a light (with a hook) on the front for a little while.

Don't use a torch
Don't put the hanging light under the ATV, you may short out when starts to thaw.

You can also just release the free-fly latch, pull it out and run it back in.

Hope this helps
