Hi All,
I have an '06 Deere 135C with an HVAC issue. I am not getting the heat to work in the cab. I spent the better part of a day taking out the interior of the machine to get to the HVAC unit under seat only to find that the unit works as it should with the exception of the temperature of the heater hoses. They were luke warm at best. I put it back together and chased the lines back to the motor. There are no valves, just straight hose connections to the block near where the thermostat attaches (in front of and below the thermostat - see pic). I replaced the thermostat and purged the air out of the system per the manufacturers specs. The radiator and overflow tanks are both full. Still no heat??? The temperature gauge comes up quick and stays a little bit above the middle as it has since I bought the machine a few years ago. It has never gotten any hotter and has never given me heat in the cab.
I am going to try and install a piece of clear pipe in the heater line at the engine to see if I am getting flow. I am not 100% on this but it seems like there is air still trapped in the engine? Could the water pump impeller be shot? I don't think so because it would overheat. My head hurts from banging it against the wall.
Confused and cold!!!!
Any ideas.
Tx,
Kato
