Satoh Block Heater

Does Anyone have a part number/source for a block heater for a Satoh Beaver S370D?

I'm thinking it's a 40mm block heater. Something like this Amazon.com: Kat's 11401 400 Watt 40mm Frost Plug Heater: Automotive.

Thanks for your help. I have it in the garage now and am planning to remove the freeze plug and check it out. I have heard it is a tricky installation.

The only problems I encountered are due to the heater itself failing. You'll need to remove the starter to reach it. And drain the coolant of course.

If the engine is the 3 cyl diesel (K3), on mine it is located behind the oil filter, but guess any frost plug location will do.

The 370D uses a 2cyl engine. I need to pull the starter on mine one of these days to reconnect the plug for said heater. Somehow it wasn't properly seated.

Do you have an update on how the installation went?
I have an s370d that I will be bringing to Minnesota this spring and am planning on adding a block heater. Any insight or tips on the installation are greatly appreciated!

I ran in to a bigger problem. Looks like I may need to rebuild the engine. Once that is done it may start just fine without the block heater.
