    Block Heater for my MT122 Yanmar

    Thanks for all the input folks. Over there years I've install four block heaters in my tractors and if I recall my Kill-A-Watt meter displayed 400-600 watts. In some cases, after being on a timer for about three hours, I wouldn't even need my glow plugs to start them. I still have an old 300...

    Block Heater for my MT122 Yanmar

Is there a freeze plug on the Yanmar for a block heater. If so, does anyone have a part...

    Oil & Fuel  Block Heater for the EMAX 20S

    Taking delivery soon and I would like to install a block heater and have to assume that the bullet-proof Yanmar engine has a knock-out for one. If so difficulty and a part number would be helpful. Thanks!

    Has anyone ever converted the 4 Gauge Wheels on the Kubota MMM deck to swivel? My old Zero-Turn had them and never understood why they are not on the Kubota factory MMM decks! Thanks very much!

    Snowsport Plow on my BX2230

    Block heater or in line coolant heater for my BX2230

    I'm not overly impressed with the glow plug set-up in my BX2230. This morning, with temps in the 40's, I had to glow plug it twice to start him. I've searched and it appears I can only use an in-line coolant heater, but I prefer a block heater. Has anyone installed a block heater in this...
