Kerosene Torpedo-Type Heater Starts Tractor
Sandy Jackson, Etowah, Tenn.: “I have a 6807 Deutz tractor that doesn’t like to start under 35 degrees. I have cattle to feed so this is a problem. After using larger batteries and a lot of boosting for years, I finally bought a kerosene torpedo-type heater that puts out about 75,000 btu’s. After about 5 min. of blowing on the side of the tractor exhaust manifold, it then starts like it’s the 4th of July. I just have to get the exhaust so it’s warm to the touch. Doesn’t seem like it strains the starter at all.”
