The advise of Zerostart was to use a tank heater in place of the head bolt as the installation was much easier and they have had less product failure. They didn't elaborate on the nature of the product failure. They pointed me to one of their tank heaters, but is uses 5/8 hose fittings and I just can't figure out where or how to install on my 743. Normally, I've simply used the heater hose for the tank heater attachment, but my 743 does not have a heater. Any suggestions on how or where I might attach a tank heater? I did see a previous post (and great pictures) where - I believe - someone tapped into the thermostat housing, but I would prefer not to do that unless absolutely necessary. Also, Bobcat actually sells a tank heater for the 743 but the dealer could not tell me how it was installed. Their comment was "buy the unit and it has full instructions on how to install". The Bobcat part is around $130 and after market tank heaters go for around $30. Any suggestions?</p></blockquote><p></p>
