block heater for a Cat D-318

[ddcuning]

The side recirculating heaters are made by Kim out of Spokane Wa. Look up KIM Hotstart on Ebay. I have a Kim on both my mill and generator. I just bought a new one for the generator for a hundred bucks. Found someone on Ebay selling kids clothes, shoes, etc. with a New Kim Hotstart in the middle of all that stuff. I figured they didn't know what they had so I offered $60 less than their buy it now price and they took It.

Dave,is that Kim the one that uses propane or kero and a flame,seems that would be perfect for a no electric power mill. Frank C.

The one I got was electric, I am not sure about alternate heat sources but you could check their web site. Price goes way up when you stray from 120/240v and get above 2000watts. At least that is what I found when looking for mine. The Cummins on the mill came with a 240v version and my gen set had a 120v model. Both had integrated stat.
