From my point of view here a few hundred miles away I'd say its probably not the t-stat either...A busted t-stat USUSALLY shows up in summer/warm months, not winter...Key word is USUALLY.
Without going out to check my tractor for sure...but I think that the T-Stat does not control the temp of the air in the heater core....you got water circulating there no matter the temp of the water...just like in a car...so I'd think you're cooling the water as fast as your generating the heat. I've gotten to the habit of shutting the fan off till I see some heat on the gauge..yesterday I had heat in NO time at all.. Once the gauge starts moving I turn on the fan and I got a warm cab in no time. Actually USING the tractor makes a difference in how fast it warms up too.
