farmtrac 665

New owner here and have couple questions.

Finding info on these tractors is difficult but what diameter is the lower radiator hose on farmtrac 665? Also have any of you installed a lower radiator hose heater on this model?

I put one on my 555 which is probably the same, but cannot remember the size of the hose. It was a standard off the shelf size though. It works fair at best. I have had it plugged in overnight in temps in the teens and the tractor is inside and it will not move the needle on the temp gauge, but the coolant is much warmer than the ambient temp.

Check with Harold sr. at Quantie tractor in Locust Grove, OK . He was a former Farmtrac dealer and is very knowledgeable about these tractors.
I added one to my '00 FT60 at his recommendation plus a battery blanket warmer. Worked great yesterday morning with 9 degree temps.
