Anyone have a link for the freeze plug heater for the sc2400?
My dealer no longer sells Yanmar, and the newer dealer isn't very helpful.

I don't think you are going to find a frost plug heater for your Sc2400. I am pretty sure there is not enough room between the block and cylinder to install a frost plug heater.

I'm still trying to research this but I'm pretty sure JD sells one for the 2305/2330 which is basically the same tractor. Same Yanmar 3tnv72 engine?
At this point I would prefer this to an inline hose heater.

Thanks for the reply BTW.

I dug through my paperwork on my Sc2450 and found out the part number for the block heater my dealer installed in my tractor.
It is a Kubota freeze plug block heater part # 70000-00771
It is a 400 watts and 25 millimeter freeze plug.

Good info msb. Searching through my info it looks like Yanmar only lists their "Radiator Heater Kit" for the Sc series. Probably why they installed the Kubota heater on your tractor, which in my opinion is a much better option than the in line hose heater.

Thank you!:thumbsup:
I knew somebody on this board had a freeze plug type heater.
I will look into this a bit further.

Guess where I just placed an order last week for the Ford?
