Install location for block heater - L3600???

[cook96cbra]

I have found them on ebay and other places, they all are screw in. Looking at my engine the only spot I see with threads is already being used for the coolant temp sensor.... Maybe I'm missed something?

Anyone have a heater on their L3400-L4200? If so, could you tell me where it's located on the block?

Is there anyone else here who has a 4 cylinder L series with a block heater?

Q&A and comments section might help.

It seams most Kubota blocks do not have the threaded port.

You need this model that fits in the freeze plug location.

This is a L4400. It does seem to be a freeze plug replacement. It's on the left side ahead of the starter. Orange thing.

Yup! Looks just my L3600 engine. Thanks!

Greenhead,
That heater is in a freeze plug location and it is the same type I posted.

Just make sure you measure the hole. Kubota has a couple different sizes. 32mm and 30mm are the sizes I know of.

Exactly it. Had it for my yanmar which was extremely finiky in cold temps. My l295 seems to start fine so far, haven't used it yet this winter ( mild ). Yes, I put it on the lower part of the block.

Just read the review on the link. I would have to say you should be able to find somewhere to stick it. Even if its up underneath somewhere. A little heat goes a long way

Pretty good idea. I knew of these but had forgot about them... I could use it on something else if needed, kind of a nice benefit

Check the oil pan, most Kubota's have aluminum pans.
Heating the water directly is by far the best and most efficient way to heat a motor.

I've never had any issues with cold starts; however, I live in an area where we rarely see sub zero temps. When I do need to start it in the freezing cold, I will sometimes use a shop light. I agree with NIW above statement.
