Has anyone ever installed a block heater in a h1502 bolens iseki? I installed a napa one and lasted less then a year

I was thinking of doing this as I keep my tractor in my outbuilding until the first snowfall, then try to bring it in to my heated shop when I can once the snow falls. When its real cold it often sounds on start up like it could use a heater to get the oil flowing quicker. I was just gonna get one at a place like Napa and give it a try to see if it made any difference in the clicking the motor makes on start up when its really cold here.

It worked great at first didnt need to preheat and cranked over like it was 75 outside only downfall was it was not thermostaticly controlled
