Quit working after only a few weeks : Kat's 14600 600 Watt 1 1/2" Lower Radiator Hose Heater
I installed one of these heaters in my chinese 24 H.P. diesel tractor. (a very old and cold blooded design) It worked great last year, for the 2 times I used it. I wrote a glowing review on the tractor site I belong to. A made in USA product at a competitive price, that is a win win product! This year it don't work. I pulled it out and did some ohm meter tests on it. The thermostat is fine but the heating element is not. Zero contuctivity through the heating element. Now I have a gap in my radiator hose that I have to fill so I have ordered another one. I would hope that something built in the USA would function a little better than this. I was very pleased with it when I installed it and it worked well. I am not quite so pleased now. It is reasonably priced and it should work for a long time. There isn't much to it. Perhaps the bend radius of the heating element is a little sharper than it can tolorate?
They work great when they work. When they don't it sucks. It is a real PITA when you have a snowstorm bearing down on you and can't get your tractor to start.
I hope my dipstick heater is up to the task.
If the replacement heater lasts more than 2 uses I will ammend my evaluation. It shouldn't be that difficult to build one of these. About 3 inches of mild steel tubing a cal rod element and a couple of crimp on connections and a snap switch and 6 foot of electric cord. The packaging probably costs more than the working parts.
