never tried it but I have been told by several people to use the small battery heating pads.

Bro the one from your link is European, (200V/250W/50Hz) and the color is so "girly" my cub may try to stick his PTO in it..

Bought me a case of rough service 100W drop light bulbs and several cases of
various household wattage's from light bulbs.com or something like that,
before the ban went into effect.( ordered long life) seems like they were $.50 cents ea.
Crew the gubber-mint.!!
It is a sad day when they legislate our light bulbs,--- just remember somebody 'lected them.

Were here from the gubber-mint to help,
yep, just ask the American Indian about it.

Now about the block heaters, I just point my reddy heater @ what I want to warm up, and in a bit, it starts easily.

Go to your farm supply store and get a poultry lamp and a pack of 250 watt bulbs for them they will warm the engine pretty good.

Wow, I wonder if the bulb companies are playing politics with the politicians by making odd wattage bulbs. I know hat when this law passed, Westinghouse closed their last Plant in America because they made these bulbs.
We need to bring some manufacturing back here or we hold no cards if these other countries decide to stop importing to a bankrupt country

Amen! How did this thread go from heaters to light bulbs? Build a fire under it and warm it up.

I agree Sam Mac, what did I fire up here, oh well who cares, lol. So it was cold up here in mn when I posted this and today it was 25 so I thought to myself, I'm going to put that relay in today for the starter and give this a shot that j- mech helped giving me detail and thanks for whoever came up with this. It worked for me, first time. It just clicked after over 30 plus previous attempts from factory.Thanks everyone for the inputs. I will check it again tomorrow and keep you all informed .
