 [attachment=67072]20220120_151119.jpg[/attachment]Hello everyone.

ACMOC newbie here. Last summer I bought an 80 year old wooden tug in Seattle with a rebuilt D337 installed in 1964. (Serial number 23B102, Snow-Nabstedt 4.5:1 reversing gear, Rootes Blower, ~5500 hours). The motor runs great, and I want to keep it around for another twenty years, so I want to set up a program to take care of it. This is my first tractor motor.

Last month the engine block heater shorted out. It includes a single 110v cable that spits and connects to an element on the heat exchanger at the front of the engine and to an element on the block. The plug to the element on the block shorted out. I have included a couple of photos.

Any suggestions where I can buy a replacement element or assembly?

I will have many more questions for this group. I am glad to be owning a piece of history.

Thanks,

James [attachment=67071]20220120_145635.jpg[/attachment][attachment=67072]20220120_151119.jpg[/attachment][attachment=67073]20220120_145620.jpg[/attachment][attachment=67074]20220120_145604.jpg[/attachment]

Welcome, I would remove the heater element from the housing and take it to a heavy truck parts store and compare it to a new one, Zero-Start or Kats brand heater.

congrats on your purchase, sounds like she's in good hands..like to ride on a tugboat one day (hint)
-not sure on what you require part wise, but Rome is spot on, nothing like having the actual part in hand to match up or whatever...whenever you go to parts store (rule number one)

-my 3306 came with a basket of parts, one was a block heater....never seen one like it...but the element was 4-5 inches long, and i think 1200 watts...easy to install...
works great
-i think they're very effective to keep the frost out so a great choice when you're close to juice.. just a little extra heat when it's go time..

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
