I'm a motorcycle mechanic and have a friend who has asked me to install a block heater on his 3020. After talking with the JD Dealer and being quoted a $150.00 price tag for a block heater kit, we have decided to try an after market block heater kit. Does anyone have any information about aftermarket block heaters? Ive tried Farm&Fleet and they didnt have any in stock and weren;t sure when they would have. If any one has any suggestions it would be greatly appriciated as his tractor just wont start when its cold out. thanks.

HOW ABOUT A MAGNATIC OIL PAN HEATER?
THE OIL IS WHAT MAKES THE ENGINE HARDER TO TURN OVER. WARMING THE COOLANT HELPS SOME BY WARMING THE BLOCK. BUT THAT DOES NOT HELP WITH COLD OIL.
HAVE ONE AN MY CAR, WORKS MUCH BETTER THAN AN BLOCK HEATER.

I went to a salvage yard to get my Block heater(in working shape). Cost me 35 bucks, plus the hose. It isnt a big deal to hook em up either, took me maybe 15-20 minutes to install mine.

Depending on what style 3020 you have there may be several solutions.Later console models take an in block heater,or early models will need a can heater.If you post more info I may have a source.Also what area are you in?John

Is it a gas tractor, and what climate does he use it in? 3020 gas tractors are notorious for running cold. I have to use full choke, even in south Texas, to start my 3020 gas in the summer. There are, on the manifolds, some "blocks" that can be reversed for warm or cold climates to help warm up the intake manifold. Check these for your climate. Sorry I dont have any info on block heaters.

An exteranl tank heater properly plumbed or frost plug heater is usually faster & more efficient. A lower hose heater tends to heat the rad as much or more than the engine.

A 1500 watt tank heater would be plenty hot enough to start your 3020.I'm surprised F&F is out of them.You could try a True Value hardware store if you have one of those around.Just follow the enclosed directions piece of cake.

Hi all you need for a 4 cylinder is 1000 watt which is $70.00 Canadian or if you are real cold area 1500 watt is $125.00 Canadian, remember the USA dollar is worth more in Canada.
