Back in the late 80's, my wife bought me a set of screwdrivers that were "just as good as Craftsman." They weren't. I then gave her a Northern Tool catalog and told her to get me anything in there. She got me a Makita 9.6v drill. First one among my little circle to have anything like that. I know 9.6v sucks now but in the 80's, it was awesome! Next, she got me an actual Milwaukee Sawzall. Little did I know that these two tools were basically gateway drugs to what I have amassed today.
Even through I am in SE Ga. I added one to my 1994 F350 7.3 L Diesel dually primarily for ease of starting on colder days but it sure was nice to use the heater before I went my 8 miles to work. But, most importantly I found an electric timer big enough to handle the wattage. I only had the block Heater on for a few hours before I got in the truck. Saved a lot of $ due to not wasting electricity. Billy
Now you need a wi-fi plug. I use TP-link. Bought from Best Buy. Young guy said they don’t loose their signal as much as some. Anyway if I know I’m going to use my 1025r. I turn on the block heater via the wi-fi plug 20-30 mins before and it starts like summer. 👍
I have my 2025R with Mauser Cab block heater plugged into a Wyze WIFI plug in my detached garage. I turn it on about 2 hours before starting the tractor. I added a 12" extension to the cord from Amazon so it was easier to reach to plug in. I also have a battery tender plugged in for the battery.
My Massey GC1723E has a dealer install block heater. Last week it was -22F (-44F windchill) here in NW Iowa and I was able to start my tractor fairly easy after having it plugged in for 30 min.
Howdy Brock! Well that wasn't bad at all. I had no idea what would be involved with the install. Maybe I need one for the Mahindra! I need to get the hydraulics fixed first... lol. Well done and thanks for sharing 🤠
I did this for my 2520 several years ago. Glow plugs always got me going, but the ease of starting after only 15 or 20 minutes of heating “feels” better. It’s got to be better for the machine too. No ce work. Thanks for sharing your time.
I did a block heater on my 1023e this fall and mine was at the back of the block with a frost plug... I needed a 2 foot rod to knock it out going through the steering column, then 400 bucks later I had a block heater because mine needs a gasket with a half inch adapter plate that bolts to the block and then the block heater screws into that.
Thanks for the vid! I just added a block heater to my 2038R now too. We just had a cold spell a week ago here in Wisconsin (-10 to -20) and mine wouldn’t start either. When I did get it going after putting the booster on the battery and heating it up with my bullet heater, it threw that ECU code again. It went away after coming up to normal operating temp. I’m just going to plug it in now before I need it when it’s cold, hopefully it won’t do that anymore. I’m coming up on my warranty expiration and the dealer is going to check everything out to make sure all is well. I sure am on the fence about purchasing that extended warranty they’re offering. I have about 3 weeks to think about it.
I just did this job on my 2038r last weekend. I'm in Missouri and have had the same cold snap you did. I bought mine from the John Deere dealer because they had it in stock. ($68) The instructions from JD were 100% wrong. They told me to remove a bunch of stuff from the Right hand side and also buy some other kit....
I noticed that your Teflon tape extended past the end of the thread fitting on the heater plug. Common practice says start about 1 thread back from the end to keep from getting tape into your system. This is very important for hydraulics, not as much for this!
Great video Brock, TY. It looked like this was on your 2038R? Did you also install one on a 2025R? If so, is that also a direct threaded install? I saw an adapter was required for engines with a knockout plug (maybe that was for a 1025R), and the adapter was like $125. I'd prefer not to have to get that on top of the plug. Let me know. thx. -Will
Order the belt and have it on hand. But I would try to make the one you have on run until it's done because your not going to keep the old belt around as a spare.
Due to heat and water corrosiveness and part potentially getting stuck/not able to remove, was there any type of appropriate anti-seize added to the part threads besides thread tape? Whats manufacture's recommendations for preventative measures? Nows the time to save a future headache.
Just remember to UNPLUG the heater before you drive away!! I may or may not have an assortment of surp belts and timing belts for lifting straps for my overhead hoist they are unbelievably strong...insert legal disclaimer here

Now that you have the block heater, it'll warm up and you won't need it HAHA!!
I don't have a john degree. I don't need a block heater. I just enjoy watching your videos.
Not to get all mushy, but that means a lot to me.
I like how simple this is on the tractor compared to the typical block heater install on a car!
Great, informative video. Thanks.

I just did that to my 2032R last month. Glad you did the video to help others in the future.

Great job, my friend. BTW…the name of the drain plug on the radiator is called the petcock.
Good catch on that cracked belt!
By the way, I'd recommend buying a 10-pack of Prong Shield, they're a nice way to cap the 120V plug (protect it from the elements).
Howdy Brock! Well that wasn't bad at all. I had no idea what would be involved with the install. Maybe I need one for the Mahindra! I need to get the hydraulics fixed first... lol. Well done and thanks for sharing 🤠
Yes replace the belt now before it gets you in trouble.
Informative video Brock, 👍

That little doodad will save you one of these days!

You will probably use yours a lot more than I use mine, so if you have a problem with it, let me know how it works

Nice video.I need to add something to my DS4510 kioti. Do you thank the radiator hose heater work as good as the block heaters?
Yes I would replace the belt for sure. Better to do it now than have it break in the middle of a job.
I noticed that your Teflon tape extended past the end of the thread fitting on the heater plug. Common practice says start about 1 thread back from the end to keep from getting tape into your system. This is very important for hydraulics, not as much for this!

I'm No mechanic I ordered my 1025 with a block heater already installed never used it yet.
Order the belt and have it on hand. But I would try to make the one you have on run until it's done because your not going to keep the old belt around as a spare.
Luckily my tractor came with a block heater. I have used it a few times.
Due to heat and water corrosiveness and part potentially getting stuck/not able to remove, was there any type of appropriate anti-seize added to the part threads besides thread tape?
Whats manufacture's recommendations for preventative measures?
Nows the time to save a future headache.
Yea man,change that belt
Well that was easy enough. I would get a new belt just incase that one busts
I was busy that's why I'm late
Excuses excuses... 😁 Morning Todd!
@@Cowboy_Steve actually I was in the shower , I have a va appointment. Lol I'll try to not do it again 🤪🤷🏻♂️
Good morning
Just remember to UNPLUG the heater before you drive away!! I may or may not have an assortment of surp belts and timing belts for lifting straps for my overhead hoist they are unbelievably strong...insert legal disclaimer here
That's were the belt was glued together, but still looks bad
👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥
Change That belt
👍👍
Change the belt or at least have it on hand
I think that you should get fixed
Am I broken
@@RockhillfarmYT I guess you have to get it done now
@@williamfenner9915 I just bought the belt
@@RockhillfarmYT That is a good thing, and idea 💡
