Modern Tractor Discussion Board Topic: JD 1050 Heater Info [Return to Forum] Author [expand] [Modern View] TommyD / Iowa 10-04-2009 08:46:54 166.232.51.0 20888 Report to Moderator I purchased a used JD 1050 this summer for my acreage with skid loader, bushhog with 4 wheel assit. Runs very good and no complaints. Would appreciate any information on the best type of engine / block heater to get for my JD 1050. Also any other suggestions for keeping the tractor useable in winter. Thank you.

Part description states plug is 1" in diameter but no spec's given on block heater so you'll need to measure heater threads.   [Reply]  [No Email] Tom / Iowa 10-14-2009 19:41:16 173.27.83.46 20913 Report to Moderator Re: JD 1050 Heater Info in reply to Tx Jim, 10-14-2009 04:52:23   FIELD INSTALLATION KIT part # AR87167 has a 1 1/4 thread so unless there is another place on the engine we cannot find I think I will go get my 72.00 back from JD or see if they have a block heater that will work with the 1" plug. Thanks for all the help. T   [Reply]  [No Email] Tom / Iowa 10-14-2009 11:10:08 173.27.83.46 20912 Report to Moderator Re: JD 1050 Heater Info in reply to Tx Jim, 10-14-2009 04:52:23   Thanks Jim. Thats the one I do see and I will measure the threads on the heater, but looks to small for the part number they gave me. I wil let you know.   [Reply]  [No Email] Jerry/MT 10-05-2009 10:04:04 206.183.116.129 20892 Report to Moderator Re: JD 1050 Heater Info in reply to TommyD / Iowa, 10-04-2009 08:46:54   I"d recommend a block heater. You might also consider putting it on a timer to automatically turn on an hour or two before you want to use the tractor.   [Reply]  [No Email] Tx Jim 10-05-2009 04:22:45 67.142.163.27 20890 Report to Moderator Re: JD 1050 Heater Info in reply to Blue Buddy, 10-04-2009 08:46:54   JD offers a block heater for FIELD INSTALLATION KIT part # AR87167   [Reply]  [No Email] Tom / Iowa 10-13-2009 12:45:16 173.27.83.46 20908 Report to Moderator Re: JD 1050 Heater Info in reply to Tx Jim, 10-05-2009 04:22:45   Hey, thanks for the replies. I appreciate that. I bought a AR87167 FIELD INSTALLATION block heater from the local jd dealer. I asked him where this installs and he could not find that information. Any ideas where on the block the plug is located that will fit the threads on the block heater that I bought. There is 1 ratchet head plug by the starter but it looks smaller than the threads on the heater I have.
