Progress!! Got it running/starting. It indeed was the glow plug controller. Next project is Hydraulics, but I'll start a new thread for that :)

Well folks, I got the glow plug area all cleaned up and still no joy. After calling 3 dealers (with a part number) I finally had to send a picture. Long story short, neither local shop got the right part so I ended up ordering it from Messick's. The local hydraulic shop is going to braze that...

That sounds better (and cheaper). Trip to Lowes ;)

it does feed the injectors. The one on the end has a single that runs to this one, and the other side is a return to the tank. I'll see if I can find someone to solder it. Bolt/space won't allow for stacking.

got out there today and removed the glow plugs. scrubbed around there quite a bit till I hit shiny metal. So I should have a good connection now. I'm going to need a new one of these though Joint Fuel Pipe 15103-42570 They don't make them anymore. Anyone know of another model that uses...

That's possible. I'm relatively new to electronics. I set the meter to the lowest ohms setting (200) but 0 is what it read.

OK, sorry it took a few days to get back. I pulled the dash and checked a few things that were posted here. Wire is Black w/Red strip from switch to plugs (Which is what I understand the diagram to be showing) voltage on controller(pin 17 to controller. this is the side that goes from switch...

Something that kind of bothers me (and maybe this is just not something I'm use to) is that the wire going to the front glow plug is a small (?? 18 gauge) wire but the wire that connects between the two plugs is heavy (it's more like 9 gauge) and very rigid. It's what the manual shows as well. I...

I got the plugs from Messicks. They are Kubota parts (#15231-65512). I'll get in there and see if anything is dirty. I thought I cleaned it pretty good when I had the switch out (I basically took everything except the light switch out and cleaned it), but it maybe a few days. I have to pull the...

would it be safe (for testing) to jumper past the controller?

It does have one of those. It's never worked since I've had it. I was just considering that as well. the wire that should glow is all corroded up. is that cleanable or best just to get another one? b6000Electrical.pdf

They're nowhere near that hot. Just checked the voltage 11.65. I wonder though if it could be the circuit, because as I said, these are brand new plugs.

I put new plugs in before I had starter issues. That and they burn the **ss out of me if I touch em. lol I do wonder if that circuit is slow or something though. I held it for the 12-15 sec it ask for but woudln't start. It sounded like it wanted to but wouldn't. Held it for 45 and she fired...

Finally started!! Flushing the radiator next

It does have an electric pump and that is def working. I'll snap a pick tomorrow. It's kinda dark out there right now ;)

Yep new fuel. I am getting good fuel at the pump (As my arm can attest) lol.

OK got the battery on the charge. will the fuel come out in a solid stream when all the air is out? What' I'm getting right now is spurts. It is beginning to sound different and not smoke as much, so maybe that's progress.

OK I've got the starter wouldn't crank issue fixed, but now the darn thing won't start. Here's where I'm at. I had the tank off, cleaned it out and put new line in. I know you have to get the air out on diesels, so I opened the port on the right hand side just below the hard lines that go to...
