Hello skeets, it is good to hear that you don't have or need a block heater. as you suggested, I had already searched about block heater installations. However, I did not find an installation for my specific engine application. I only want to know the location and how the heater is installed on my specific engine.

It's fairly strait forward:
Left side in front of the starter, remove a freeze plug, install the adapter, install the heater fill antifreeze/mix, done.

Thanks Wolfman.

Sorry, not your tractor type but on my previous L3410 it was a simple job when combined with changing the coolant. This was 10+ years ago, but I recall removing a freeze plug, hammering in a brass (?) adapter, and threading in the element. I switched coolant types at the same time. The instructions from Kubota were more than adequate for anyone to install it.
Even in relatively mild Maryland temps I found that using the block heater greatly improved cold starts.
