Heater

[SRF]

I bought a 1993 Case 1845C uniloader last winter. This summer I found a heater for it at an auction. Today was the first time I considered hooking it up, but I do not see any coolant hoses to attach it to only the large upper and lower radiator hoses. I am assuming there are probably ports somewhere plugged off I would be able to attach the heater but they have never been used since it is not equipped with a heater. Anyone have any advice?

Shane here is a link to me doing this on my 853, there is also one for a 743, I realise you have a 4bt cummins, but it will be simular.
You take your hot water out from just below the thermostat housing and return it to the suction side of the water pump usually somewhere lower on the block.
The 853 had a bypass hose that allowed the cooland to circulate from below the T stat back to the bottom of the cylinder block when the T stat was closed. The returned was T'd into this line and the hot supply to the heater was tapped into the block just below the t stat, hopefully you will have a thread plug near this this location.
Here is the link 853 heater cab install

Look into the meadia section then open the photo folders at the top of the page.

Thanks that helps a little, I think I have found a place to put a fitting for 1 hose but will have to keep searching for the other. If anyone has any specific info for the Case 1845C it would be appreciated. Shane
