Block heater part number 6720808, about $50. There appears to be serial number breaks, so if you go this route, have your serial number to make sure it will work.

If he has the older model 453 with Kubota D750 that will work.

I have a 463 w/D722 (15.7 HP) Bobcat sold me a block heater. Went in the end of the head- muffler side. Pretty small heater compared to a auto heater. It gets pretty hot so I only use it for about 1/2 hour before I start it. helps alot! Steve
