Ok, with an ambient temp of 22F in the shed and engine block temp of 18ish (it got down to 13F last night), I ran the Kats 16400 heater for 1.25 hours this morning and it raised the block temp to 45-50F as measured just above the freeze plugs and 90-100F at the water pump and thermostat housing...

On my 22, it's on the side of the thermostat housing at the front of the engine where the top radiator hose connects. I assume it's the same on the 25.

That's not a bad idea. A heat gun and a shot of starting fluid should get things going on those extra cold days.

Ok, I will test that. I did install the heater (Kats #16400) in the lower radiator hose tonight. I did manage to get the tractor started and ran it to temp to settle any air bubbles and top off the coolant, so I can't see if the heater helps cold starting until tomorrow. I did notice that after...

Good to know it is working for you. Some folks say they've had no issues with cold starting (on the eMax 22) but mine is not a fan. I even replaced the glow plugs (which are all working) but unless I use both my 250watt heat lamps for 3-4 hours on the side of the block and under the oil pan and...

Yeah I have the Daedong as well and like me, it doesn't like the cold very much either! Have you had the issue I read about where the heater heats the coolant up enough that the ECU won't turn on the glow plugs because the coolant temp sensor reads an already warm engine? Even though the engine...

Sorry if this has been beaten to death but how effective are the lower radiator hose passive flow heaters? I am wanting to install a block heater kit on my emax 22s but not sure if the inline lower radiator hose type allows enough heat into the engine since it isn't pump driven like the...
