Need some Heating Advice

[joesco]

Fellow Steelers,
Just got a pretty good deal ($79.00) on a 24v Stewart Warner Multi-Fuel vehicle heater, depot rebuilt in 2004. My thinking it came out of a 10ton or even a tank. It is a model Model 78385-10560 M241B1.



I have a few questions...

Does anyone have the TM number on this heater?

It doesn't have a control box. Any sources as to where I can purchase one?

If not, can one be made?

Should I mount it in the cab (under passenger seat or dash) or under the hood and plumb it in?

I am hoping I can adapt this type of heater to my (mini) deuce for minimal costs?????????

I had a similar unit in my diesel-powered Unimog 421 and I was toasting warm in about 5 minutes. It was factory mounted behind the passenger seat and would defrost the cab very quickly.

Any help and assistance is greatly appreciated. Thanks folks.

What is the BTU rating? Almost looks like a 60,000 btu unit, which would be too much for the cab. Can't find anything on the model M241B1...
The control box and also the required fuel pump/filter may be found on ebay from time to time.

It comes back as a 6000.0 BTU and it's for a M113A1/A2 APC, NSN should be 2540-01-169-5159. Wayne

Okay, so it's actually M24B1 and 60,000 BTU...20,000 to 30,000 would be enough heat for the deuce crew compartment.
