Inline Engine Heater B7100hst

[IL4now]

Anyone have an idea where I can purchase an inline engine heater for my B7100hst? I was hoping to mount one in the lower radiator hose. I found a link from searching the archives, but it seems the site\company is out of business. For those who do not know - Kubota does not offer a block heater for these older engines

Thanks in advance,

Brian

Try Napa or somebody like that.Just take in you hose diameter measurements.That way you get the right one.

Here is a post where I talked a little about doing it on my b7100dt:

Works great... would be even better if I could turn it on from inside the house

Use a timer or dedicate a specific plug in for the heater and have it switched in the house.

My dealer "Wescott & Sons' in Gorham Maine sold me a heater that I spliced into the lower hose on my B7100 3 years ago when I first bought the tractor. The heater was really easy to install. However the tractor starts so good in the cold (down to - 15F) that I have never used it. It is nice to know that it is on the tractor if I did need it. I think I paid around $30.00.

Any auto supply house. You just need to get the correct size.

Thanks guys...must be where I live as none of the auto parts stores have the inline type

Charlz has the one I was looking for...the Kats unit seems to get good reviews.

Chances are you could find a freeze plug type block heater that would fit. I don't know about the internal clearance though.
