I thought most block heaters were inserted into a freeze plug at the back of the block, on a 743, they are behind a metal plate, unless they have ones for the small ones the head?I found that it is located RF @ 2'oclock. Does the injector pump need to be removed?
I was totally wrong. There are definitely freeze plugs. As you are facing into the engine, there are 4 plugs on the right and 2 on the left. Looked up Zero Start heaters and it says "back of the head". Would it matter which side of the head as long as it is positioned at 2"o'clock.

What style heater did you get hold of?
I'm pretty sure these plugs are for coolant and not oil passages, but can't be totally sure, but if they are indeed coolant, I see no reason why you can't put them in any plug hole, as long as it's in there, it will warm the head. It's not a high wattage element that will simply boil the water.I was totally wrong. There are definitely freeze plugs.

There is a youtube vid of a guy installing one in the frost plug using a kubota tractor part with a threaded sleve in the frost plug hole He has the 1702removed but he says it dosent mater if it is in or out because there is enough roomI have not been able to find a frost plug heater that fits into the side plugs on a v1702. Not enough room between the cylinder jacket for the heater to fit unless someone has a part number that works.
