2009 MF2625 block heater

quick67coupe · Dec 16, 2015

My father purchased a Massey Ferguson 2625 in 2010 from a local dealer that had a long history in area but unfortunately went out of business not long after the tractor was bought. So service for the tractor ca n be challenging at times. The tractor did not come with a block heater installed but is impossible to get started on the coldest days of Jan and Feb. I ordered an agco 773323m92 block heater to install but for the life of me i cant figure out what frost plug it needs to be installed in. Its 4wd and has a front loader. Any advice or pictures would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. If I'm leaving anything out let me know.

When I put the heater in my 2310, they had pics of where to put it; I would assume almost any frost plug of the appropriate size would work, however, as long as your can access it easily enough and it has those two treaded holes above it. Here are some pics of mine, located on the front left of my 3-cyl Iseki diesel. It fit easily, never has leaked, and works well.

Thanks for taking the time to photo that. Mine is an agco part but does not have any photos other than the part. It includes 4 instructions.
1)Drain cooling system
2) Remove the threaded core plug from cylinder block
3) Secure the heating element into the the cylinder block and tighten securely
4) Fill the radiator, start the engine and check for leaks.

I haven't seen anything obvious to unscrew from the block. My guess is it will be a square holed screw flat and flush with the block probably behind some cover or filter i didn't notice

"threaded core plug" ? That's different. Most freeze plugs are a pressure fit, made of soft metal. Not sure what a threaded core plug is; maybe it's just a plug and not a freeze plug, per se. Sounds like a call to a dealer might be in order. Can you post a picture of the heater? (Is it threaded?)

Excuse the dirty kitchen floor, the previous post is the entire contents of the box.

Well then there must be a threaded freeze plug somewhere on the block then should unscrew and you screw this in that location. Never seen a threaded one before, most are the press fit variety that you have to punch out. I would look around the block and see if there is anything that large in diameter than can be unscrewed.

Yeah... That was never really in question. My hope was someone with the option would say yeah its over here and send a picture.

On my JD2520 (and the JD2305 before that) there was one plug along the bottom of the engine block (at the height of what everyone refers to as freeze plugs) that had a square "hole" in the center. The naked end of a 1/2" ratchet fit in there perfectly. Several sprits of PB Blaster, a couple of shots with a hammer, and a breaker bar and plenty of torque had it out. Your heater element looks very much like mine so that is what I'd be looking for.

Good Luck.
