I once started my TC 35 on a cold day after having run the block heater.
Then attached the electrical cord and zip tied the cord to a secure part of the frame where it could be easily accessed and yet be out of the way. In fact we stock more parts for New Holland harvesters and hay equipment than any other dealer on the East Coast.
Ran the tractor for a bit to insure there were no leaks. Messicks stocks nearly 70,000 different New Holland, Ford, and Case Parts for the full line of equipment that they offer. Slid the heater in and then secured it by turning the bolt on the front of the heater to the appropriate torque. You are first supposed to lubricate the O ring with some antifreeze or liquid soap they tell you to NOT use oil as it will apparently degrade the O ring over time. On the TC 30, the block heater is placed into the hole in the block and rotated so that the heating element is the the "7 o'clock position". I checked the plug carefully to make sure I hadn't chipped any metal off of it and into the block. Fortunately, it only fell partly down into the block and I was able to get it out easily with one of those "part fishing" magnets. It didn't rotate as I expected it might when tapping on the edge gently. Despite using great care, I did manage to knock the soft plug into the block when tapping it with a metal punch and hammer. Well, we installed the block heater easily today, thanks to all the advice above. Personally I flushed my system and replaced my coolant as I was in the 1000 hr zone when I replaced my heater, (It died after 1100 hrs on a 1988 tractor) Note that most manuals call for coolant replacement at or about 1000 hrs so depending on usage that is an option to consider. On the other hand most tractors have a valve for draining at the lowest point so that is not all that hard to do. The tightening squishes the O-ring to make a perfect seal.ĭraining is kinda optional as you can usually catch and save most of the coolant as generally the frost plug is high up enough on the block. Instructions generally read clean well, add a bit of oil/grease to O-ring, insert and tighten in place. The plugs are equipped with O-ring to make a good seal.
