Yesterday morning it dipped to-20F. I had the tractor plugged in all night, cause I need it before sunrise to feed cows. Yesterday morning no start. I checked the plug, looked ok. Follows back to engine block.
Suppose to be 2 pins on block heater, one is apparently missing. I needed the tractor, so I rigged up a 100watt incandescent light bulb on a pig tail , against both sides of the engine block. And shrouded it in with cardboard
After a few hours I tried the tractor, and it started up. Hows that for old school technique
Wondered at the time if I was wasting my efforts, but it paid off.
