John Deere Winter Grille Cover
Winter grille covers are available as an accessory for Select Series™ X300 and air-cooled* X500 Multi-Terrain Tractors:
Features:
- Faster engine warm-up and higher winter operating temperature
- Prevents the engine carburetor from 'icing-up' while blowing or blading snow, or during similar applications, when operating in certain cold weather conditions
- Elastic straps make installation and removal quick and easy
- *The winter grille cover is recommended only for air-cooled tractors; use of the winter grille cover on a liquid-cooled tractor may cause the engine to overheat, which will cause the power take-off (PTO) to disengage.
NOTE: To avoid engine damage, the winter grille cover must be removed when outside temperature reaches 40°F (4°C) or higher.
The purpose of the winter grille cover is to seal the side vents on the hood; they need to be blocked completely. The cover must be aligned properly to accomplish this. If the sides are not sealed, carburetor icing may still be a problem.
Symptoms of carburetor icing:
- While blowing snow in freezing temperatures, the engine gradually loses power, emits black smoke from exhaust, misses, stalls, and fouls spark plugs.
- If the tractor is left outside in freezing temperatures after blowing snow, the choke may not move when trying to start the engine.
- Engine will start after sitting outside in freezing temperatures, but runs poorly and lacks power; black smoke may be emitted through the exhaust.
