Identify cooling system item

[CapePrep]

This is a GP auction yesterday. It caught my attention since it went for such a cheap price. I was shocked at how much gen's were going for yesterday BTW! But, going thru the pictures I saw this cooling system mod. Anyone know what it is??? Very interesting

Yes, a very rare arctic heater kit. I have one on an 802 in my posession. Diesel fired plumbed into the cooling system to preheat. About $4k option when new, if memory serves from the last thread on it.

I haven't been watching auctions in the past month or so, but yes... since this past late summer (hurricane season) the prices have been up, up, up. So much so that I think I am done buying them. I have 5 or 6 to still come through at the moment, but I'll probably be done after that. I have some other things up my sleeve that will keep me around SS for a while though

I think I'm done buying them for now. I'm going to turn my attention to service. I'm sure there are a number of machines floating around my area that need some TLC.

+1 on the artic heater. I would have loved to pick up a unit with one installed. I've been looking for a reasonably priced heater to add to my personal unit.

Neat gadget to have. But at 5 degrees here in CT the 802/803s dont seem to have any problem starting with a second of preheat. If you were deep in negative weather territory I could see having it. I still have plenty of 803s here I have yet to go thru. Not enough time in the day.

I hae started my set in -5* with out much trouble. Something else to repair/mantain.

Yeah most of the time we are going to be fine... but its real nice to have when we get into the -15 range in some winter spots each year. I hear you 100% on the time in the day comment... past the increased auction baselines, I have so many other things that need to occupy my time right now that gensets become expensive yard ornaments till I can get back to them.

No kidding ! I still have 5 units I need to get running again. My wife says to just take them all to the scrapper ! She just doesn't see the "big" picture ! Mainly something for me to do with my time now that I'm retired.
