Block heater for tractor.

Sooo, the block heater for my tractor burned out. It's an old girl 674 International, where would be a good place to get one? I heard an auto parts store may be able to do that, because there are no dealerships close to me.

Thanks Ross, I didn't think of TSC. I wonder about the co-op stores as well?

Block heater is not likely model specific. It's just a heater plugged into hoses that feed in and out.

Many years ago we popped the frost plug out of engine block & secured them in there . Luck

We have an International 584 and its a generic model plugged into hoses. Same as my sister's 684. Our old john deere 710 same thing.

Circulation engine heater about $100

Oh for Pete's sake that was easy, lol yes Baron that's pretty much what is on there now, thank you. The 474 has the same thing so I was wondering if it was something just generic. It never occurred to me to try Canadian tire, there is a mega box store near my work. I thought I would have to get it from a parts store.

Thank you Ross as well.

I was lucky, it worked the day before but when I checked it I could feel it was cold. I shook the wire a bit and suddenly there was smoke and sparks. Lucky it didn't take on fire the day before.
