I posted this question many years ago, but maybe someone out there has installed a freeze plug block heater on a KAMA 454. I'd just go for a lower radiator hose heater but the hose is very short.
The engine is listed as a 395, not sure if the Shandong engine is used on other tractors.
The freeze plugs are a little off set from the cylinders, maybe 2 inches center of cylinder to center of freeze plug. The plug is about 1.25 in/32mm wide. I fear there may not be enough room for one of the small block heaters.
I see other option as a recirculating heater/pump. But don't understand where to tap into the system.
