    Thank you. Not glo plugs, just old age but it's working better now. They removed an arthritic bone at the base of my thumb, it doesn't ache 24/7 now:)

    It's finally out of the cast but my thumb is still learning over what it used to know, lots of WTF moments:D

    It's moving back up now that the hand is starting to come around. Plus I have another problem, a leaking front axle, getting me motivated. I will start a new thread with questions once I get it apart more.

    Sorry for leaving this conversation with no notice but between the forest fires, a couple too close for comfort, and now this, see below, I've been kind of tied up. I did wire the glow plugs directly to a relay powered by my already there horn button, horn didn't work anyways, and in testing it...

    I had to install and uninstall Translate 3 times but now it seems to be working, thank you! I will try it tomorrow on the tractor and play with it tonight with the manual and report back soon.

    I tried that on the Japanese manual I have and couldn't get it to work but I am not very techno literate. I'll try it on the switch writing and see what happens.

    Glow plugs ordered, under hood is just one wire coming from the wiring loom going to the middle glow plug with a metal bar joining the other 2, no pic as I have to take the hood off to see anything and it's a total PITA Tractor dash with key ON but motor not running, glow plug light second from...

    I believe you, I know nothing about diesels other than semi motors and that's only to start them before I drove them and we always plugged the block heaters in in the winter so they were easy to start. Does my starting sequence as listed in post #8 seem right to you? Using the key to power glow...

    And now for my new problem, I can't seem to match up the numbers I got off the glow plug to anything. On one side of the hex head it is stamped NGK, 1713R over 11V on another and 9011 on another. Any way I google those numbers I either get spark plugs or nothing at all. I emailed NGK Canada to...

    The strangest thing happened today. I took the hood off the tractor to remove a glow plug and get the numbers off it to order new ones. I also wanted another look at the power lead to see where to splice it. I noticed that there was a plug on the wire a few inches past where I could see easily...

    I did think of using just a switch but as I have a useable relay lying around I thought I would just use that. I do have some toggle switches laying around also but I thought I would inevitably bump it on accidentally so that was why I was opting for the push button which wouldn't have to be...

    I only have one wire going to them and I was just going to splice the relay into that wire and use a random 12v source and a switch to activate the relay when needed. Would that not keep my voltages and feeds correct?

    I was actually just going to splice the relay into the existing glo plug wire right near the glo plugs. It looks to be 12g or so and I was just going to splice a 40A relay I have lying around in to it so I would keep whatever power they were using to the glo plugs the same and just use a random...

    The glo plug light on my ZL1-235 dash never goes out and 12v goes to the plugs constantly. They are all burnt out because of this so I want to fix the problem before I replace them. I thought maybe it was controlled by the engine temp but I have fixed all the cooling problems on my ZL1-235 and...
