Block Heater install

[mffarmall]

I have this engine Y385T, So are you saying that Prestone is okay or? I don't care about what is what. But if I should use one type then I don't mind doing it.

I'm 100 % positive that the Yangdong Y380,Y385 are dry sleeved engines,I have rebuild several,and sold many sleeves and pistons to others.I just was not sure if yours had the Yangdong or not.

I guess so. According to Tommy, your engine is dry-sleeved.

That is good to know. But I still like the help. Thank you!!

Took off the heater. Really it only took a second. I noticed that the heater tip I had facing toward the engine was in the curve but did not touch the hose. Any problem with turning the heating element around to face the radiator?

Don't see where it makes a lick of difference which way it points. Some radiators have the outlet on the left, some on the right. I've never seen any "right side" heaters, or "left side" heaters. Stands to reason then, that it shouldn't make any difference which way it's pointed.

Went to Auto Zone to get a new part. They had to order it. But the guy was so board we took it apart and used other ones to replace the pieces. But it still did not work.

I tied down the cord but pulled a few times. Bad habit.

These Chinese tractors should be equipped with heaters once they are brought into the US. I don't see how I lived without mine.
