Hey Danny, you might try calling Phillips and Temro. They are are the Mfgs or the Zerostart line of cold start aids. I know their catalog has the wattages of heaters to used in various applications. If your worried about using alot of power, get a ether start kit for your truck. I just put one on my service truck that has a Series 50 Detroit. When I'm out of town working and parked at a motel I can't always plug in at night so while it already has a block heater installed it isn't always practical to use it. People can say what they want about using ether, but if your engine doesn't have glow plugs, or an intake heater to assist in cold starts it isn't gonna hurt a thing. In fact Detroit now has a system for the electronic controlled engines that mates the ether injection system with the computer for even more precise control of the amount injected. The system I just got is just a manual push button type, but it only injects 6cc of fluid at a shot. I have yet to have a problem starting it in less than a couple of revolutions, even on 25 degree mornings, and it hasn't ether knocked a single time since I installed it. Used properly ether can be a nice thing to have, used wrong it is death to the engine. Just my .02

A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
