Ford 4610 heat in cab issue need help

Hello. mountaindweller from norway here to ask you Guru's for assistance.! :)
Bought a 4610 2 weeks ago to use for snow plowing. it works wonders but the Wire/Knob in the cab you pull to stop the engine has been damaged and removed. so to stop i go out of the tractor and flip the diesel switch manually.
3 days ago i was in a rush so i went out and flipped the switch when i was done but i forgot to turn the ignition off.

so until the next day the tractor stood with ignition on and the Cab heater in full blow mode.
Needless to say the tractor was Stone cold Dead the next day when i tried to start it.,,,
Had help come with a battery charger for me, and charged it for 3 hours and it started no problem. everything is ok exept 1 thing.

I cant get the cab heater to start now. its dead. no air. no reaction from the heater controls in the cab.
i am by no means a mechanic but some *basic* stuff i know.

things ive done :
*Checked fusebox in cab right above the steering wheel, everything looks good. replaced the fuses that i think had something to do with heater.
*Checked wires from battery if they got damaged when i moved the battery to charge it. cant see any damage.
* found a new fusebox behind the battery with 4-5 fuses in it. all looked good.
*ive opened the roof to get access to to the Wiring JUNGLE. i have no idea what im looking at.
*Almost lost all hope.

All help would greatly appreciated.
I can provide all kinds of pictures. just ask.
English is not my native language so i am sorry if something is hard to read or understand.

Greetings from norway.
 

Running for so long could have caused the "oilite" bronze bushings to seize up. I am not familiar with a Sekura cab but most tractor systems use a squirrel cage blower. I think that your best bet will be to search from above for the cylindrical shaped blower, and then the smaller cylindrical motor off one end, and then the wires that run to this motor. If you can measure voltage from one of these wires to ground, most likely the motor is bad. If you cannot measure voltage on any wire to the motor most likely the motor is good and your problem lies elsewhere.
 

Welcome to YT
You're English is very good & easy to understand. I agree with showcrop to check wires leading to blower for electricity then check to determine if blower will spin freely. I also am unfamiliar with a Sekura cab but after raising roof I'll bet there another plate one needs to remove to access blower

Or burned up the brushes or melted the brush holder. If its the bearings you can spay lube into the shaft ends and gets some improvement in most cases.
 
hello and thanks for help!

i have a friend who is coming tomorow with a *multimeter* to help me check wires from and to blower.
The blower was in a frame of sorts. i screwed 3 bolts off and got to the blower from above. problem is i cant see the difference between blower and motor etc...
Can you guys pinpoint me to the right wires and things to check if i attach some pictures? :)

Blowers are usually around 6-8 inches in diameter. while the motor is usually around three inches. the blower is much longer than the motor which is usually around four inches.
