T4020 Block Heater

[Bill Jones]

I would like to add a block heater to my T4020. The tractor has always started pretty good with just the glow plugs, but I would like to have the peace of mind just in case.

Looking at the parts book I find part #86590140 which is about 60$. When I search by the tractor model # I come up with part #87717682 and it cost 221$.

Can anybody provide insight as to the difference?

Thanks,

86590140 is the 1-1/2" standard frostplug heater that fits Ford engines from 1971 through 2000 more or less. It isn't going to come close to correct for your Iveco/NEF engine in the T4020. 87717682 looks to be correct.

Thank you. I may have to save a few more pennies before going to the dealer.
