You can remove your small water pump bypass hose and plumb directly into that. This will allow the heater circuit to function as the bypass. For summer use you must replace the little bypass hose as you should never block flow through the bypass.
I do this on my Kubota powered ZTR mower with a cab every year, works great and you will only loose about a cup of coolant when you switch lines. KennyV.

So I can take the small hose off by the radiator cap hook it up to the heater then run a new line back? Is there enough flow there to keep the heater hot I'm in Minnesota i need all the heat i can get. Thank You I won't be doing this for a month or too pics will be a while.

No it is the small ½ inch diameter water pump bypass hose, It is attached to the water pump and engine at the thermostat housing, simply remove it and plumb the heater in place of that short bypass hose. You will have all the heat you want in this loop.
That tiny hose at the radiator cap is a radiator over flow and usually is hooked up to a recovery tank, or just vented below the engine. There is never any flow at that point. KennyV.
