I'm about to install a block heater on a 1971 MF175. It's a Kats that plugs in at the frost plug, Any tips on removing the existing frost plug or other trouble spots I might run into? Thanks.
 
If I recall that block should have a 3/4 pipe plug for the block heater to thread into. While there are several cup plugs, some may be too close to the cylinder to allow the heater to fit. If I remember right dad's 180 diesel has the threaded in heater on the starter side of the block.
 
I know that on my 180s and 175 diesels there is a threaded port to put a block heater. I bought mine at NAPA but don't know the part number.
