I have a 2015 HST and bought a block heater unfortunately no instructions whatsoever. Been back and forth with the seller but nothing. Anyone have any info, images, instructions on how to install a block heater in my Mahindra 2015 HST?

Is it a block heater that installs in a core pug hole in the block ? Before you start make sure it is the correct size for your tractor. If it goes in a core plug hole, you have to drain the cooling system, knockout the core plug and then install the block heater in its place making sure the element does not ground on any metal surface in the cooling jacket. Some block heaters are designed to go into a specific core plug hole so that's why I say make sure that you have the correct block heater for you application.

Definitely core pug hole. I'm looking for image or detail instructions. I didn't know I had to drain cooling system though?
Thanks

Also commonly called a freeze plug. Of course you have to drain the coolant, the block heater heats the coolant to warm the block so when you remove the freeze plug you are opening a large hole in the cooling system. As already stated you need to know exactly which one to remove on your engine for clearance issues.

Ok Finally got freeze plug out but the tip of my screwdriver broke off and fell into block heater hole> Any thoughts? It is a small piece less than 1/4 inch.

If it was in one of my tractors, I wouldn't worry about it. Its in the cooling system, not in the crankcase.

Don't know about yours but mine has a steel block with a plug in a radiator hose where a heater is supposed to screw in.

This is my 6075 location. Possibly look for something like that? Square pipe plug. Remove them quickly install the heater. Route your wire to a location free of movement and your off and running

A metal fragment won't be kind to the impeller in your water pump.
