B6000 glow plug, *pic*

[jay87t]

so everyone tells me the replacement NGK glow plug for my kubota is Y107-1 and thats what messiks sent me. the ones I took out of my kubota says NGK 8674 I cant seem to find that # anywhere. wonder what I should do now, does NGK have a chart to compare sizes or something?
Thanks.

That don't look right too me either, i would't think you would have an extra 3/4 inch of room in the combustion
chamber for that longer tip.
Are you the original owner? Maybe someone stuck the wrong ones in there at some point?
heres what the replacements numbers mean

I bought the tractor a couple months ago and just fixing her up. the new ones I got from messiks are much 2 long, and would hit the top of the piston. Im gonna pull the originals out again and head over to the kubota dealer.

Not much help, and I'm no expert (quite the opposite really), but I thought the glow plugs were recessed up in the head on these? If so, perhaps relatively minor variations in length can be accommodated without a problem. And the previous plugs may be acceptable (or marginal?) substitutes for the correct plugs. But that would certainly be a question for someone who knows...

thats what I need the ones in #2 link, anyone know the NGK part # for that plug?

Strange! Messicks sent the shorter ones for my B6000 as the correct part. However it had installed the longer ones! I was just replacing them as the longer ones were probably 30 years old and the glow plug system did not work. After cleaning everything up it all works. I believe I will stick with the longer plugs. As They do no damage to working parts and must surely do a better job of reaching the combustion chamber of the B6000

Hello all, I'm new here.
I can verify that the Y107-1 glow plug does work in the B6000. Just installed one the other day.
