JD5425 will not start

[Tx Jim]

Does your tractor have this option? AIR INTAKE HEATER (OPTIONAL)

No. I was attempting to install it on the tractor when the no starting problem occurred. It was starting fine before I took apart the manifold to insert the air intake heater.

Hi Guys,
The 5425 starts and runs fine now. I just charged the battery for a little while and it started right up. We did get a lot of dark smoke at start up, but then it cleared right up. I noticed that the instrument panel lights, hrs, etc are no longer working. I will have to check the fuses I guess.
Thanks for your suggestions, etc.
