1970's JD 310B (engine block heater)

If it were me, I might consider going to Kennedy Diesel and buying one of his add-on heaters. Like a heating pad you install on your pan. That is what I'm going to do on my tractor.

You must live in some semi tropical temperate climate. A 300W oil pan heater will not warm the combustion chambers at 10F let alone -20F

You are correct I live in the tropics. I live where last year it only got down to -15. It was a warm winter. :D

I didn't know we needed to warm the combustion chambers. I thought it was like any diesel rig. My 2500HD Diesel Truck gets her oil warm in winter and she responds with pleasure. I let her purr for a few minutes and she warms right up. I'm hoping the same response will come from my tractor.
