Hello guys I have a question for you regarding replacing the block heater on my BX2380. It started leaking and blowing the fuse on my block heater timer until I realized it was leaking. It’s not very old and I don’t trust the brand they used. I saw in a post one time where you can install a threaded bushing into the block and the block heater screws into the bushing. I just don’t remember the part number and I’d like to go that route so if the block heater element goes I’ll just have to unscrew the defective block heater and replace it by screwing in a new one. I don’t trust the block heater that came with the tractor. It had limited use during the winters and shouldn’t have failed do soon! Hope you can help me out.

I’m guessing this is so you can put a different thread sized heater in the kubota threads? I think you’ll be able to find a manufacturer that uses the same thread as factory holes.
Im curious what the price difference is from kubota compared to other manufacturers.
