Wondering if anyone has ever installed a block heater in a D750 in a 443B. Would be similar for a Kubota B6200,7100,7200 with the "70mm" D650/750/850/950 engines. Variously I have seen listed 1" NPT (I sure can"t see a location for it like I do see in pics of the D905 and other -05 series motors) or 30mm for freeze plug install (Zerostart 3100099 is mentioned here and there, to be installed "in the back of the head." Indeed I have 30mm freeze plugs, 3 in the block behind the starter, 1 in the "back" end of the head. I am worried however about the depth behind each as I see it mentioned that the ones in the block do not have enough depth for a heater, and I can"t imagine the head one will either. Would love to hear from someone with one installed.
And yes I need it, the glow plugs are good, the starter spins well, the beast is old and tired, compression isn"t great, it won"t start below 10F anymore, and it was -18F this morning. I had a pad heater glued to the block, but it burnt out apparently, and only helped some. Please anyone that can, help...
TIA
