#NEW HOLLAND TC33D TRACTOR COOLANT IMMERSION HEATER INSTALL#

Those days I also start with the clutch down so the starter isn't spinning the TX. The oil is the main thing and the heaters probably don't get a lot of heat through the cases but I persist using them on extreme days. They might help a little even though I use multi-season hydraulic oil. I have two magnetic heaters and I use them when it's really cold on my TX. In addition, using a large magnetic oil pan heater may degrade the oil if it puts too much heat in too small an area, but maybe somebody knows if this really is an issue. Magnetic heaters only thin the oil, which isn't really necessary since synthetics and good multi-grade oils became available. I got mine at TSC for about $20.ДЄ second to Chief's comment: Warm cylinder walls is what helps starting, as well as thin oil so the starter spins faster. It helps to thin out the oil a bit but did not warm up the engine block much.

I bought one of those magnetic type block heaters that sticks onto the oil pan. There is a magnet one that works well,If I remember correctly,I was tolk it is about $60.00,I didnt need it last winter,and it wes BURR cold. they you ca grab it with a pair of pliers or channellocks and pull it right out. The best way to get a core plug out is to go to one 'side' of the circle and pound it in so the plug spins like a globe. Most of them ar 600 watts & like Art said, you don't want the element to touch the block because it reduces the heat transfer to the coolant and can cause leaks because of the heater not being seated correctly. I used to work for a company that makes block heaters. Not to mention that the operator gets heat alot faster too. It is just alot easier on the entire system from the batteries on to the engine. I plug my Cummins in an hour or two before I start it and it eliminates the the cycling of the intake grid heaters and oil pressure does not remain so high for as long due to the fast warm up. That block heater is REAL nice when even if it is not that cold. My wife popped the GFI for her car's heater by parking with the bumper in some snow. As near as I can figure, when the GFI has popped, it's likely due to slush with highway salt in it or something conductive laying against the tractor. I use it mostly because I think it's better for the engine. Mine has popped a before, which is another way to ruin 'easy.' Fortunately, my Ford doesn't really need a block heater most of the time and then it really only needs a couple hours of it. When using the heater, if it's going to be run from a GFI outlet, it's good to monitor it a few times. I've ruined 'easy' enough times to know the good feeling. Nothing like an easy job that turns out to really be easy. I'll undertake the project in a few days.ДЇreeze plugs came out fine and installation was a snap. I pulled the plug out with a screwdriver and a needle nose plier. The hardest thing was routing the plug wire so it did not get tangled. I put one in my TC33D last winter it took about 15min the directions were very good. Make sure when you insert the heater that it is not against the engine block on the inside. Look at the block and find a drain plug for coolant, do this when engine is cold so not to get burned. I'd say what Mark told you is about right but here's a couple of little notes to go with to. If it starts to recede into the block you may have to resort to a drill and maybe a big self tapping sheet metal screw that you can then use to extract the plug. I would start with a sharpened flat screwdriver to punch a keyhole to pry with later. Might actually be a bit easier on a tractor because of the removable access panels on the engine.

They are much easier to install than they are to remove. It came out in pieces but it did come out. Last time I did one (on a gas engine) there was a lot of prying, puncturing and a few bad words. Anybody had any experience with this that could give me some pointers on getting the plug out? I have to pull one of the freeze plugs to install it.
