Hi guys, this is going on a 81 Ford 555 backhoe. its starts easily at 30F. It doesnt want to know anything about starting in the teens though.
The local New Holland dealer sold me a 2 element 600W heater that takes up 2 of the frost plug holes. So far I can only see 2 frost plugs on the motor, One is just past the starter and the other is behind the inj. pump I'm not gonna pull the pump, I assume you would have to pull timing cover to take gear off pump etc.
Are the inline bottom radiator hose heaters worth trying? do you need to pull the thermostat? I know the dipstick mag heaters arent all that great.
Any Ideas greatly appreciated -Mike
