I’m needing to improve my cold start ability on my JCB hoe with a Perkins 104.40T engine. Engine serial is AB50364 if that matters. As far as I can tell it doesn’t appear to have a thermostart or intake heater installed. What does it take to install one of these new or can I install a block heater in a freeze plug? Not sure what that entails either. Anyone else have one of these engines and have experience with either of these devices ? (I do have 110v usually to plug the backhoe in overnight if that’s the easier method.
In the pictures, I’m not real sure what these plugs are for if you can give me any advice. They are in front of the radiator just behind the mesh screen.
