[AT] Tractor cab heater

My Old Belarus is  about 30 years old, so I guess it would qualify as 
antique.   I use the newer one mostly for feeding cattle.  This wet 
winter is a mess with the ice and the windows fogging up, not to mention 
the frozen feet since I don't have the feeling in my toes from the 
spinal injuries.   The Belarus just does not have warm enough water to 
make the heater work.  The heater and A/C are a US aftermarket addition 
installed in Milwaukee.  The A/C needs to be torn out and replaced.
   I found an Eberspacher diesel heater from a SAME tractor on Ebay for 
$325, and thought it was ready to go.  It turns out it was only the 
heater assembly, the model it was used a remote relay, ECU, and fuel 
pump.  All parts that were not included.   I do not have enough 
experience with these to try to reverse engineer the missing parts.
I think the best thing is to buy another complete unit even if it is 
Chinese and then try to find parts to complete the one I have now. Do 
any of y'all have any experience with these.   I would bet Steve W has 
worked with them.

I keep getting news reports about how you guys in the NE are staring 
down the barrel of 26inches of snow.   That would be equal to our 2 
inches of ice.   I wish I could be there to give you all a hand.
