    Does anyone know of a block or dip stick heater for a Kabota engine in a Carrier unit?

    A little off topic but what type of engine do they usually put in a reefer meaning Inline 4 or 6? Liquid cooled??? etc. I've never had anything to do with one of them just curious.

    They are usually an inline 3 or 4 cylinder. Kubota, Yanmar, Isuzu. I think the big guys have little engines too. They use them in reefers, little tractors, bobcats, skid steers, generators, etc.
