In John Deere Green...on a hot Summer night....

Sounds like you're on the road to recovery with your treatments! Free military trailers, how does that happen? Those little carts are awesome for putting restoration projects on or water pumps, gen sets, etc. What year is the 1 1/2 ton trailer, it looks to be in awesome shape. You could probably flip it for decent money; check on www.steelsoldiers for some price ideas if interested.

I didn't catch the year, but its not that old. I lucked out and a buddy of mine that has a shipping yard needed some unclaimed freight gone ASAP to make room for a new customer...so he gave me a call and I'm pretty stoked! The bad is that the trailer is 24V and has a military-style compressed liquid hydraulic line (according to Brapp)...and someone cut the line and electrical harness off. I don't know if 12V will juice 24V lights, but I'll try. I've heard of people doing axle swaps to fit conventional wheels and electric brakes, but for now I'll prob just tow it around with the tractor for random tasks and projects.

JD110 YOU ARE THE MAN! Thanks!!!

Hey JD110, I'm having trouble finding a block heater that would fit. I did see a coolant heater, part # RE313366, that I think will fit. Thoughts?

I'm not sure about that part. There are RE numbers in parts catalog but not that one. So here is what I have:


I should have called it a coolant heater.

Looks like the number you found is a good replacement based off this:

Caminofeld, I saw another one for less $ and noticed it came with instructions. Maybe you saw that, also. Did you find where it hooks to the block?
Here's a picture of a 1520 where it mounts

Hey JD110, mine looks exactly like that! TSC has what appears to be the generic equivalent of that part number for $50, so I'm gonna pick one up and see what I can do. In the meantime I got a magnetic block heater that makes it a little easier to start, but still takes a bit of cranking for it to fire.

They also have the inline radiator hose heater. I'll look a little further into it and figure which will best suit my needs (and mechanical skills lol)...
