John Deere 855 block heater part number

Japarker74 · Jan 3, 2014

Hello everybody,
I am new to the board and hoping you all can help me with a part number.
I am looking to put a block heater in my JD 855 tractor. I can't seem to find a part number anywhere for this. Does anyone here know what part number I would need? Or maybe where I can get an aftermarket heater?

Thanks a ton!

Jim

Deere part # AR87167 about $90 for kit

I looked up the Deere part and it looks like the Zerostart 3100003 is the same thing for $30-40 bucks. Its the same heater I have in my Yanmar engine (1 inch NPT screw-in type).

Thank you guys! I do like the 30-40 dollar price range better. Lol
With the below zero temps we've had the JD doesn't like it..guess I don't like it myself. Wonder if they make a block heater for us too? Haha
Much appreciated !

They do, but I hear the install is "less than pleasant". LOL
