D236 Glow plugs

Don't know anything about your tractor and this is a knee-jerk reaction, but you didn't happen to just replace the glow plugs lately too did you?

With a set of newer 6 volt plugs, maybe? The 6 volt plugs need a 'pulser' or 'controller' to turn them on and off and are identified by the wider connector spade.

Otherwise, the feed wire will normally run a little warm; shouldn't be so hot you can't touch it tho.

Dunno, like I say, I don't know your tractor, but just tryin' to help,

Not to start an arguement, but glow plugs have to be shorted to work properly and this is the key to their operation.

They are nothing more than a dead short, controlled by being routed thru that carbon filled tip.

I know what you are trying to say tho, but I wonder if you wouldn't have to "pull 'em" to see one that is defective in this 'burnt away' condition.

Have a good one,

Allan

Yes, I knew what you meant and you're right; they have a small amount of resistance (kinda like a carbon filled plug wire) and they usually fail "open".

That's the trouble with these darned computers anyway....can't see the "emotion" of the sentence. :>)
