having searched threads and finding nothing too helpful or recent I wonder if anyone has discovered anything specific as to mfg /supplier that would fit?

Hi Neighbour!

We sure need it these days.

Not familiar with the OC46, but I put a magnetic 300 watt on the bottom of the oil pan on my OC-3. It's protected by the skid plate or sod pan, so it's left in place.

One of my Masseys has one in the bottom rad hose. 150 watt, I think. Couldn't fit one to the OC-3 because that plumbing is mostly pipe. NAPA might have a selection of those to fit different hose sizes.

Why would you need a block heater on a gas engine? How cold does it get there? My E will start by hand cranking when it's down around zero.
