K2679-1 - Lincoln Electric Cold Weather Kit for Perkins Engines

Don't Let Winter Freeze Your Workflow

When the temperature drops, your deadlines don't change. The Lincoln Electric K2679-1 Cold Weather Kit is the professional welder's solution to winter downtime. If you run a Lincoln Electric welder with a Perkins engine, you know that cold mornings can mean wasted hours trying to get equipment started. This kit eliminates that struggle, giving you turn-key reliability even when the thermometer hits -40°F (-40°C). It is designed to keep your engine warm, your oil fluid, and your crew working.

Everything You Need for Cold Starts

This kit is a complete package designed for easy installation and immediate results. It features two critical heating elements that run on standard 120V AC power—easily supplied by shore power or a generator before the shift starts. The engine block heater warms the core of the engine to aid ignition, while the oil pan heater ensures your oil flows instantly, protecting vital engine components from the grinding wear of a dry, cold start. Additionally, the included radiator grill tarp is a simple yet effective tool to block biting winds, helping your engine warm up faster and stay in the sweet spot for performance.

Protect Your Equipment

Cold starts are the hardest thing you do to an engine. By pre-heating your Perkins engine with the K2679-1, you aren't just ensuring it starts; you are extending its life. Thick, cold oil puts immense strain on oil pumps and seals, while cold combustion chambers lead to incomplete fuel burn and carbon buildup. Using this kit, along with the recommended synthetic oil and arctic diesel, ensures your machine runs as smoothly in January as it does in July. Equip your fleet with the K2679-1 and keep the sparks flying all winter long.
