Definetly a tank-style coolant heater. 240's, and all IH gassers, are pretty good cold-starters, if you've got a good battery in them. Unless you plan on using the tractor on -20 below zero mornings, I would suggest eliminating the heater. Just replace the cock on the left side of the block with a new one, and attach a short piece of hose, to make it easy on yourself when it comes time for regular coolant changes every two years. I'm guessing that someone has added a tee at the fitting for the temperature guage sensing bulb to add the fitting for the tank heater outlet hose (on the right side). Just remove that fitting and install a pipe plug. Remember, you are working with pipe threads here, and you must use a thread sealer, such as teflon tape, or you will get leakage past the threads. If you choose to replace the tank heater, they are commonly avalible at any auto parts store, in many shapes and sizes. Replace both of the 5/8" heater hoses with new ones, and run that hose from the left side around the back of the engine instead of underneath, so it doesen't get caught on somthing.
