Block heaters

[motorhead]

I used to be in a heavy construction company and we always used block heaters because they seemed to work the best. I am probably going to install a factory one on my L3400 just because I will be keeping it in a slightly heated garage. I would like any feedback regarding knocking out the frost plug. I believe the cylinder sleeve is very close and care needs to be taken.

The B3200 has a threaded, pipe plugged place to put the block heater. You don't knock out a soft plug to place the block heater element. I would think your tractor has the same provision.

Mine all appear to be soft plug knock outs with a cylinder sleeve very close on the other side.

Maybe a magnetic heater would be a good second option for you.
