have a diesel tractor (also a jubilee) would like to know if anyone has had any experience with a magnetic block heater or a regular block heater for a diesel.....where do you get either one and how much should they cost. any other information would be helpful on getting the diesel started in cold a.m.
thanks

This has been discussed over and over. The magnetic heaters I have seen were low wattage and while easy, would probably not do that much to help starting if it was real cold. In my experience, a lower radiator hose heater is fairly easy to install (at least on the hundred series), about the same price as that magnetic heater and will give you the amount of heat needed to start a diesel even in below zero temperatures. I would not own a diesel without installing an electric coolant heater that is high enough wattage to get the tractor warm enough to start within a couple of hours of plugging it in. Good luck!

I've never used the magnetic type heaters. In my mind, the immersion type block heaters are by far the most effective in terms of heat transfer, and probably the cheapest to buy as well. I'd guess at about 40 bucks, give or take. Your local dealer should be able to get an appropriate heater, or failing that, a NAPA or some other such supplier. They're generally pretty easy to come by, except for some odd sizes. HTH.
