B8200 block heater

[varmint]

Anyone out there ever install a block heater on a B8200? I've got one, from Kubota-made in Canada, where they need 'em, and have a rough idea of where it goes, but I've been too lazy (and it's been too warm) to actually

I understand that a block heater is a pain to install. These heaters were totally easy to install.

MikePA: Please review your message before posting it. It's simple not to create a long link that widens the entire thread. Just insert a descriptive word or two between the {url=http://whatever}<font color="red">Enter words here</font>{/url} instead of the entire URL. Replace parentheses {} with square brackets in previous example. Alternatively, if you use the Instant Markup language URL link, the first prompt is for the URL. The second prompt is for a description. Do not simply paste in the URL again. Type a short description of the link. Note: Following standard Internet protocols, bolding is for emphasis and should not be confused with all capital letters, which represents shouting. Also, this instruction is done in public so that others may learn as well.

Raybee: thanks! I hadn't seen your thread before. Great photos! The B8200 uses the same heater (purchased from the same place- isn't Ronnie a good asset for us tractor owners?) but I think it's on the other side of the block. I have to remove my loader to get to it, and that's why I have postponed doing it. I'll take your advice of attacking a warm block/plug. Of course, we just had 19" of snow and cold temps, so I was back to using a light bulb under the hood. Dah.

Thanks, Tom... interesting way of dealing with the problem. I already have the plug heater, so I'll be using it. Plus, where else can we learn about internet protocols as a bonus!
