So we bought an 89 JD 550b Dozer last year and plan on plowing snow with it this winter. We live off-grid 2 miles up an old unmaintained logging road. Last winter I had a lot of trouble starting it when it got much below 20 degrees Fahrenheit. We live in northern MN so we regularly get low temps and lots of snow. We have limited electricity in the winter and the dang thing doesn't have a block heater anyhow...... A guy I met mentioned something about possibly setting up a coolant transfer system to run the hot coolant from my Toyota truck into the dozer engine block to heat it up for easier starting.... Has anyone ever seen this or know how it's done? Any info anywhere on the internet on setting this up? Thanks
