Re: Installation of Winter heater for coolant
I have a new Cub Cadet TL450LX with a 4-cyl. Yanmar engine. I love it! I would like to mount a circulating coolant heater on it but I am not sure if I will be able to purchase metric-threaded hose fittings to mount on the engine block and thermostat housing. Does anyone have any suggestions??? I am hesitant to mount a heater in the 1" lower radiator hose as the closed thermostat will likely severely restrict the circulation of the coolant. Or have any of you out there found a rad hose heater more than adequate??? I would welcome any suggestions.
