I too, prefer block heaters, where available, over the external circulating heaters. No extra hoses that add points to leak or to get snagged on something. None of the heaters, block or tank, have to stay on 24/7 if sized properly, 2-3 hours of time on either will make the difference, based on my experience using both types on equipment and vehicles.

As for size, the John Deere kit for your 2040 is a 1000 watt circulating tank heater, as has been noted previously, it doesn't have the right location in the block for a block heater. Zerostart/Phillips and Kat's Five Star have them as well and hook up the same as the JD heater. The hook up of 3 and 4 cylinder tractors of this vintage are all similar to the one in this photo. This one is plumbed to the points JD recommends.

After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
