thank you very much..
it is strange that deeres website (jdparts) does not show the "wire leads" shown in the instruction. I will make sure it comes in the kit when i order.. It looks pretty simple. I thought for a minute that all the wires might already be in the harness on the tractor, but when i read the entire instructions i found i need the "wire leads" afterall.
thanks!!

I am a little confused.. maybe you can help. The kit does not show any wire leads in it (per thier info). I called the dealer and they did not know for sure but guessed the 5525 wireing harness already had the wires in it. I told them the instructions show otherwise but no one really knew for sure. Have you or anyone else put this kit on a 5525??
thanks

Never had the pleasure of installing one. I would feel safe that the required harnesses are included in the kit. If you look at the book it has the picture showing what is included.
I think you'd be OK

I've installed all my own "Option Kits" and really they are well put together with everything you need. Instructions are good...with a little time I think any of their kits can be easily installed.

I just ordered this kit. My 5303 uses the same kit with the exact same part number. Should be here in 3-5 days. At that time, I will do an install write up with photos.
It's not the same tractor, but will probably give you a good idea of the process and you can learn from my dumb mistakes.

My brains totally fell out on this one. I just finished up the install when I remembered that I was going to document the install with pictures. Sorry.
Anyway, the install was pretty straight forward. Here's what I learned.
1. I didn't remove the loader. I should have. Without the mast and boom, accessibility would have been much better.
2. This pre-heater is used on many different tractors and so the kit has a pile of parts that may or may not pertain to your particular install. The instructions also cover all the different tractors that this kit installs on. The only discrepancy I found was that the tractor had more gaskets than the manual though it did.
3. On my turbo motor, the heater replaces a spacer block that sits between the intake tube and the manifold. There are factory gaskets on both mating surfaces. They are a bugger to remove. Make sure you have a good razor blade scraper and a bit of patience. Removing the gaskets would have been easier had I removed the loader as indicated in lesson #1.
4. I painted the heater before installation. I just taped over the gasket mating surfaces with blue masking tape. Worked slick.
5. The wiring seems a little ganky. The kit uses a standard Hella relay and cheap spade connectors. Wire routing is very arbitrary. I guess it's a tractor, not a museum piece. The directions seem to indicate that the new 5E tractors have a proper connector that the relay plugs directly into.
6. The kit says a battery with a minimum of 925 CCA is required. I just have the factory 750 CCA battery. I guess we'll see if this works out.
So after the install, I started the tractor. The difference is pretty remarkable. She fired right up with no traditional puff of white smoke and no cranking. Granted it's about 50 degrees out today, but I assume this will still translate into easier starting in much colder weather.
