Block and HST Hyd oil preheaters, found and invented, $48
The NAPA Pn# 605-3032 is the 40mm 400 watt, low profile
that fits the Shibaura 1.3 Litre 3 cylinder diesel. * $33
Installed sweet. *Got new prestone 60/40 dehumidifier water.*
Bonus. *What to do for the hydraulic oil? *This one I'm making up as I go along and could use some help. * For starters, is the tank return *line at the diverter manifold block available for a source oil when the tractor is not running. *This is easy to check but I thought I'd ask on here as see
If anyone knows if it is open to atmosphere somewhere, as in returning to tank above surface of nominal oil level? *
The $15 drillpump draws oil from the return line, and sends it though a loose wrap coil (copper tube make for good heat exchanger). The coil is in *an empty paint can perhaps. *A small kitchen coffee urn would work maybe. *Submerge the coil in glycol/water and bring it up to say 20°C, or as hot as*the components can stand. From the heat source can the now reinforced vinal tube goes on to*wrap around the outlet pipe from the HST charge pump(looks about 9/16" diameter od) and about 18" long. * From there the route continues on to wrap the HST Hyd filter. * A soup can the right size ought to *encase the wrap and filter, if done right should slip off filter for maintenance by removing *a 4" hose clamp. *The tube then terminates in*the reservoir tank filler hole rubber cap. *
I'm also entertaining using 7 feet of house eave heater to wrap the pipe and filter instead of the tube. It would definitely be easy to do the pipe wrap in close confines*of the charge pump outlet. * Would be a giggle*if the drill current draw would be the *correct ballast voltage of that length of eave heater wire. **
A longer length might even handle all the heating including the heat exchange can. * *Stuck in the woods? *No problem. The tube wrap*
paint can model gets heated on open fire while you stay warm turning the "hand crank"*on the pump.
Does anyone know if the tank return is a good oil source?
Hate to have to tee into one of *the Hyd pump(s)feeder line.
