I'm looking for Pros or Cons on Block Heater Brands.
I'm anticipating putting a Block Heater in a Tractor. I figured some of our Volvos have had Block heaters in them for many years so I was looking for Good or Bad track records of Block Heater Brands. The Tractor websites aren't really helping. I guess many have OEM block heaters and they do not know who manufactures the OEM for the company.

    Tony--I have a Volvo block heater laying around--maybe meant for a diesel(?). $10 and it's yours. Let me know and I'll dig it out. Call six-three-one-968-8933. -- Dave

      WOW! what are the odds???? it looks like it is the same part number! IF it came out of a Post '85 230 engine

      I had to do some Dancing to figure it out. If I look at a HOTSTART website it says the same Heater fits a Perkins 404C22 ( my Engine) and a Perkins 103.15. But they don't list a 2.3 Volvo. BUT if you go to a KATS Block heater .. They list a Volve 2.3 as # 10401 and the same nunmber for a Perkins Diesel 103.15. So if do the math, the block heater for the volvo is a direct fit for teh Perkins 103.15 and that number should also be teh correct Heater for teh Perkins 404C22

      Kats # 10401

      The one you have works? and has a Line cord for 120V? 'O' ring looks good?
      Got a picture? It's going in a brand new tractor.. I'd hate to put in a troublesome part

        The heater I have is still in the box--new. I'll dig it out at the first opportunity. Send me an e-mail (fastforwardphotoATyahooDOTcom) so I have your address. -- Dave
