HI AJ, I assume your 354 has a BD154 Diesel engine. From 1962 thru 1991 we had a series of B414,434,384 tractors all with BD154 Diesel engines and front end loaders on them and they were used every day in the winter to feed silage. The B414 and 434 had inline heaters in the lower rad hose. We had no problems with the heater in winter or summer. Plugged heater in for 30 to 45 minutes in the coldest days and it would start everytime. The 384 had a tank heater like El Toro's picture. It was Dealer installed but it is a PITA to install on BD154 as the only top end outlet is the thermostat bypass on water pump and lower end is drain plug just above starter. The tank heater would warm the engine slightly faster on really cold days. We live in Eastern Ontario so in the 1960s we did see temps as low as -35F for a week at a time.
