Etekcity Infrared Thermometer: amzn.to/3jL9ay9
Other items used in this project listed below.
It doesn't get nearly as cold here in the South as it does up North and I am just fine with that! Since really cold weather is rare here, engine block heaters aren't as common as they are in the North. But occasionally, the temperature dips into the teens and single digits, which would make for a sluggish tractor start. So this is my solution for warming up the tractor on those rare occasions.
BTW, this was recorded on January 30th.
Tools & Materials:
- Etekcity Infrared Thermometer: amzn.to/3jL9ay9
- Philips 415836 Heat Lamp 250-Watt R40 Flood Light Bulb: amzn.to/2SJtqnG
- Lutron Credenza Plug-in Dimmer: amzn.to/3jLIeOC
