I concur with all Rich said.

Eric,
The problem I'm having is accessing the images after I've uploaded them into the Simple:Press file folder. That's when I get the #500 Error message.

“What happens if you can't start a generator when it's cold? What if the power goes out when you're sleeping and it's cold?”Precisely. That's why stand-by generators are kept close to operating temperature when off line. Even if you lose your 120 volt power it will be quite awhile before it cools down enough to make a cold start difference. I'm not sure of the logic behind using 12 volt resources when 120 volts is available.
How about having a dry cell battery alarm that warns you when the 120 volt power fails?
Whatever Grumpy dreams up, I'm sure Rube Goldberg would be proud.I digress.

I believe you cannot post pictures so long as you are a guest.
Search the engine over very carefully, looking for tags that are riveted to the engine block, intake manifold, or valve cover. Chances are they have been painted over. Also look for stampings on the engine block.

If you have the old filter elements just take them to the nearest auto parts store or tractor dealer and match them up.

Welcome Dean
,Totally agree.
You may have to remove the sediment bowl assembly to check the in-tank strainer.
There is also a mini-strainer in the lift pump suction banjo bolt.
This symptom also suggests the onset of diesel bug contamination. See if there is a dark brown or black sludge anywhere in the fuel system.

Thanks.It's going to be another two weeks until I find out what damage the ice storm did.
My goal, besides being lazy…
Mission accomplished. Extension cord, properly sized for length, and a 200 watt mag heater. Maybe throw a heat reflecting blanket over the hood for good measure.

Grumpy:
My goal, besides being lazy and just wanting to eliminate the 15 minutes on a block heater, is to be able to start at 0 degrees without 110VAC.
If you are to use it in stand by emergency service for a generator and want to start it on a moments notice, then you want to maintain a minimum of 100 degree block temperature. I suggest you just place a 200 watt magnetic heater on the engine and leave it plugged in 24/7 during your winter season. Starting an ice cold engine and bringing it up to full load and speed is not good for it.
