[@dlawson8993]

Cool video with the how cold it is out side and how it really wormed the engine.That made my mind up.Iwas going to to the radiator hose heater but the block heater it is.Thanks for the video.

[@NoGasNiko]

I haven't regretted it. Glad it helped.

[@josephfernandez2236]

I appreciate your efforts, please do make more videos on upgrades.....

[@NoGasNiko]

Thanks. I've been busy with my 9 to 5. Hope to have more content coming out soon. Busy season is almost over.

[@josephfernandez2236]

Thanks again, ordered my block heater and cant wait to tackle that project !

[@NoGasNiko]

@josephfernandez2236 awesome! Best of luck. Mine has been trouble-free since install.

[@shopdoc]

I'd say that was a huge success! Nice job! Man that block heater is a beast!

[@NoGasNiko]

Thanks! Had to clear some snow today so I plugged it in for about an hour. Fired right up! Highly recommended.

[@WichhartAcres]

Great info! Thank you for posting this!

[@NoGasNiko]

Thank you!

[@glennvengroff7235]

Wow that is great. I live in Ontario near Kingston and have seen -30 here and started up no problem...but every machine is different. Unless you got one headed for Fla....Hehehe

[@NoGasNiko]

Thanks. On my next service visit I'm going to have them check the glow plugs just in case. Hopefully they're fine!

[@glennvengroff7235]

@@NoGasNiko I would hope they have to replace them under warranty😜

[@NoGasNiko]

They should, 5 year warranty and this is year 3. Assuming there's a problem.

[@Sanastas]

Good information here. Thanks.

[@NoGasNiko]

Thank you

At those temps with the block heater you shouldn't need the glow plugs at all. I've thought about installing a block heater on my BX, but I don't need it in the winter so there isn't much of a point in doing so and inducing a place for a leak due to the way that is installed...I would have hoped for a threaded spot in the block rather than friction fit with all the rattling and vibrations of these engines, I wonder how secure that is over time.

[@NoGasNiko]

Thanks for the comment. I hope this won't leak and stands the test of time. I'm definitely keeping an eye on it.

one thing would be a reroute of the power cord so its not bend hard, Your right beside fuel, so you dont want it shorting in 10 yrs if it gets heat cracked.

[@NoGasNiko]

Thanks for the feedback. Have to admit I did that a little rushed and cramped since I couldn't move the tractor. Something to follow-up on.

[@drozcompany4132]

Man that thing is HOT! What's the power draw on that heater?

[@NoGasNiko]

I used a plug in meter from Harbor Freight and got 400 watts.
