If it worked that good for you up in the great white north, then dangit, I'm getting one for me down here!

I installed a circulating heater/pump type I purchased from NAPA for my ISEKI/3 cyl diesel...and up here in Southern Ontario Canada where it gets bitterly cold every winter.... also to this being a gray market compact tractor with very little space to install a normal type frost plug block heater.... was not an "option" for me...I think the heater/circulating pump cost me around a $140.00 cdn but well worth it ....the all brass fittings I think cost me more than double the $$$ cost of the heater/c/pump and my own labor installing it.... and believe me I took my sweet time it was no way near a 15 minute installation job as problem after problem surfaced....but in all..... worth the effort... seeing a rebuilt starter for this tractor and replacing the ring gear would cost plenty more than the total cost of everything mentioned above..... and only if I could get one or the other ??? I'd love to be able to afford a good brand name tractor....but you know what I've found out after buying this tractor last year and many,many inprovements this past summer including new paint.... I find this is a very strong older built compact tractor and I do believe and always will that cast iron tansmission castings e.t.c is the best and strongest verses any aluminium type of the newer tractors whatever brand a person chooses....AMPA

Maybe gazoo's hard of seeing or just has cap lock on because he accidently missed the tab key, but the context doesn't look like yelling to me ??? Your answer, on the other hand, does look like yelling ??? MikeD74T
