    4020 cab heater

    Thank you, I read through it and he's having (had?) the same trouble I am. Unfortunately he's no longer active on the forum, so I don't think I can reach out to ask how he solved it.

    4020 cab heater

    Yes I did. And I asked you some questions about your comment, but you didn't respond. Not that it matters though. I'm looking for info from someone who actually has knowledge of this modification specifically, not general / theoretical. Thanks though. By the way, I noticed you posted the exact...

    4020 cab heater

    My "info" comes from several different sources, one copy of a different Deere engine on Issu. That was the first manual I referred to, and it was a crummy picture, and most likely close but not exactly what I have. The other source I have is a 4020 manual on scribd, which is a hassle to get back...

    4020 cab heater

    Sorry, the heater itself isn't forced, it's just like a heater core in a car. I meant the cooling system is forced, just like in a car.

    4020 cab heater

    Just so I understand, you're thinking I need to re-route the block heater output hose to the right side of the engine and T it into the cylinder head where I have the ball valve? I don't understand.

    4020 cab heater

    It's not a thermo-syphon, it has a pump. It's active or forced circulation.

    What do you mean by tank heater?

    4020 cab heater

    Oh, and to your other comment, yes the block heater would theoretically flow through the cabin heater in addition to the engine. That's the other reason I put that ball valve in on the other side. Except that it doesn't. I can run that block heater and the hose you circled (and the block) will...

    4020 cab heater

    This is the main source of my confusion, I think. AFAIK, that's the bypass line. That's flow through the head and block before the t-stats. That flows from the pump, down through that hose, down into the block and up out the head, back into the pump, according to the diagram I have. But that...

    You said that already :). I'm looking for something a little more specific. Thanks though.

    The return would be here, item #5? https://partscatalog.deere.com/jdrc/sidebyside/equipment/8481/referrer/navigation/pgId/8146704 and pressure would come from here, item 9? https://partscatalog.deere.com/jdrc/sidebyside/equipment/8481/referrer/navigation/pgId/8130693

    4020 cab heater

    I think I did this wrong. I'm putting a cab heater in a 4020. I tapped into the cooling jacket pressure side from the plug in the head on the right side of the engine I put that ball valve in there so I could shut it off in the summer if I wanted to. That line goes to the heater. The return...

    Looking for a good heater for 4020 with a Year Around cab

    Hi folks, I'm working on an old 4020 with a Year Around cab, and the owner wants me to install a heater. I tried one of the 12V "Road Pro" heaters from Grainger, and it was worthless. It's going back. I don't want to play around with junk, so what is a good heater? I see ones from Curtis and...
