I've got an 1850 with Hydra-Power, and a heated cab. It's my blower tractor, and the only tractor I keep running in the winter. The original lower rad hose heater went and burnt out. We've just been dumped on by the worst storm of the winter, and my yard is up to two feet deep, and it's way too cold to start unaided.

I have a new tank type here in stock, but I'm not sure how to plumb it in without disrupting flow to the Hydra-power or the cab heater (the cab heater isn't nearly as important). Anyone have any experience with this? Thanks for any help.

Here's what Bruce is probably referring to for you to install. This will only heat the engine when connected to the heater hose. Hal
PS: That's where you want the heat.

This is exactly, what I was refering to. Thanks for putting the picture in. That helps what I was trying to explaine. Great little heaters. They come in 850 watts to 2000 watts. Nice and easy to replace. 2 pairs of Vice Grips, a screwdriver, 2 7/16" wrenches, a new element, or new heater, a little anty freeze. no fuss, no muss, of draining coolant from engine again, to install a new heater. Thanks again for your help. I have one in all 4 of my tractors, I wouldn't buy any otherr type. I've hade the ones for the frost plugs, and the for the lower rad hose as well. Too dang time consumming to replace. Drain all the coolant, and have to do it enviromently safe. What a pain.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Preheating an engine not only makes it start easier, but it will save your battery too. We tested some Soviet vehicles at -65 F in a cold chamber for starting. The vehicle had twin 6 cylinder gas engines with a mini-boiler to preheat the engine. They had the oil pan shrouded with sheet metal to use the exhaust from the heater to heat the oil. Only 10 minutes of preheat and both engines started. Made 3 starts using the same batteries. Hal

Hal!
Wow! Thats what A person would call cold. Would want to have real good strong teeth, when they start to chatter. What kind of horse power would those engines put out? Thanks again.

I have 4 tractors here with this type of heater, and I wouldn't put any other type in. As I said earlier, they are so easy to replace, or replace the element. Just use 2 pairs of vice grips to pinch of the lines at the heater and remove heater, or the core. and put new heater on. Top up antifreeze, and you are good to go again.
I have my tractors plugged in all the time with timmers. Every 2 to 1 1/2 hours the heaters turn on, for 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Tractors start real good all the time, just like on a summers day. Hope this helps

Piece of cake
There are 2 small pluges that have to be removed. They are plumbing type plugs with square heads for a wrench to go on, and turn them out.On my 1650 Cockshutt,o ne is located on the left side side of the block, just above the fuel pump, and the other one is located up near the thermostat. You also need a couple of 90 Degree Street Elbows, some Teflon Tape, or Liquid Teflon, 5/8 heater hose, amd one more hose addaptor, and extra antifreeze. First drain out the antyfreeze in the tractor. Install heater, and fittings, and hoses. Reinsall the coolant. When this heater needs replaceing, pinch off the two hoses at the heater, and remove, and replace with a new one. Easy as that. Hope this helps.
