Hi,
I have a late 684 with the d239 diesel. It currently has a coolant heater in the radiator hose however the heater is no longer working and the hose needs to be replaced soon. I would like to add a tank heater as I feel they work better however can anyone give me some tips on where best to plumb one in on this engine.
The tractor used to have the factory starting fluid system however it was disconnected before I bought the tractor. The tractor starts well even when fairly cold but a heater adds some insurance for winter and I prefer to warm the engine rather than using starting fluid when possible.
I will renew the coolant when I replace the hose and add a heater. Has anyone added a coolant filter to one of these motors or should I just continue to check the coolant occasionally with the test strips? The tractor doesn't get used a lot of hours but I want to keep it working well for many years!
Thanks
