Scott: Before the days of good block heaters, we used to make sure our diesels had no oil or fuel leaks and build a fire under the oil pan. I used a cast iron fry pan and filled it with charcoal. Don't try that with a gasser, your carb isn't tight enough. There was another devise called a sallamander, it was just an oil burner in a 10" pipe with a fan. Used that one a lot with tarp windbreaks repairing equipment that couldn;t make it to the shop.

I remember a story out of the 1930s logging operation, pup start diesels and they used to leave them running all night, parked out side the bunk house. Sure they burnt a few machines, those were the chances you took when making money.
