I am about to begin building a cab for my L3200 and just ordered the steel tubing for the frame.
After searching for the best way to go about heating and defrosting I found a number of heaters that run the engine coolant through a box similar to the heaters found in cars and trucks. My question is where would the supply and return water lines be connected to the Kubota?
I looked under the hood and saw what may be some sort of bypass around the t-stat. It's a short hose that looks to be about 5/8" ID with a couple sharp bends in it. It would be accessible for connections. If it is a bypass, I'd think it is something that must be kept open - no valve in the line to reduce or stop flow in the event the cab warmed up too much. I suppose something could be done with a 3-way valve.
Anyway, comments will be appreciated.
