WD-45 block heater

schmuck · Jan 7, 2010

Anybody have a heater on their WD-45? Mine starts good, but when it is below 10 degrees it gets kinda iffy getting it to roll over much at all. 4 or 5 times and if it doesn't fire, you might as well go get the jumper cables. Since it looks like it won't be above 10 degrees for the next 7 days or so, I'm thinking about a heater. I like the coolant type. Never thought heating oil was a good idea. Any suggestions appreciated.

We used to get heaters that went in lower radiator hose that would be the deal on that tractor.

That is what I have heard, but does anybody know where I can find one?

A good auto parts store can get them. You need to know the inside diameter of the hose.

Thanks. I'll check with Carquest and Napa tomorrow.

Here's a coolant heater. Hal
PS: I used this type in my car when I was working. I sold this heater.

I wish you still had it. I looked just awhile ago and my lower radiator hose is 1 1/2".

Another option besides the lower radiator hose heater is a tank heater- usually from 850-1500 watts. Hook lower end to the block drain, upper end to a nipple in the pipe assembly on top of the engine, near the thermostat housing. Some housings have a plug available.
