911 block heater

I just bought a magnetic 180W block oil heater for my diesel tractor and thought I would put it on the 911 before I head out for my winter drives..where would I put this thing?? Under the engine drain screen or on the oil tank??

I have about the same wattage on my sump plate. It has worked well since ’68. Today, I would add a flexible 40-60 W heating element on the sump tank. There is no substitute for a hot-air 1500 W heater under the engine & transmission for an hour or so before start-up.

Best,
Grady

Hi,
Where did you buy that??

That's exactly what I've been looking for!

Thanks

Tractor and heavy equipment store...Farm and tractor supply may have it as well..You can also get them online with a web search for KATS heaters..The guy told me the dipstick heaters don't work well at all...
