The owner walks through draining coolant, removing a freeze plug with a wrench and hammer, seating the heater with Loctite and a 1-inch socket, routing the cord, and then verifying results with a thermometer the next morning. Best for BX23S owners facing winter starting trouble.

Drain the coolant, pop out the freeze plug with a wrench and hammer, clean the hole, coat the heater with permanent Loctite, tap it in flush using a 1 inch socket, then connect the pigtail and zip tie the cord.
Yes. After installing the block heater overnight, the engine compartment read 140 degrees near the heater, and the tractor started right up with no rough idle after running glow plugs for 10 seconds.
The owner said it did not take very long, about an hour or two, not even half a day.
