Snow BX2230 with Curtis Cab and Snow blower: Let it sno

Rear light, speaker wire and the Antenna wire from the console.

Rear light wiring. I also ran extra left and right rear speaker wires here for future.

This red switch that works off the key, activates the 30-amp relay that supplies the power to the console.

This is the Heater. I must say…this little thing really throws the heat.

 

[stevenw]

This is how I routed the heater hoses. I wanted to make sure I didn’t pinch them putting the loader on and off.

 

[stevenw]

This is how they route into the engine compartment. Note anywhere where the hose could rub, I cut an extra piece of hose so that it wouldn’t wear.

I ran one hose up along side the radiator to the top hose. I spliced in the provided valve that has a shutoff for the summer. Be sure to tywrap the hose away from the radiator fan. Note the valve.

The temperature was not getting warm enough so I covered half the radiator screen with painters masking tape. Works great. The temperature gage runs about ¼ of the way up towards half way. Plenty warm there.

 

[stevenw]

I ran the other hose under the tractor to the bottom radiator hose and made sure it was tywraped up and out of the way. I had a heck of a time bleeding the system through…anyone have any tricks out there for doing this?

The adjustable cup holder on the top of the heater keeps my coffee toasty warm.

In the worst of storms and cold, the heater has kept the snow melted off the windshield.
