B414 glow plugs

Doe s someone have a schematic of the wiring for the glow plugs on a B414 tractor with a BD154 engine.

Thanks, Don from Canada
 
B-275 and B-414 use glow plugs that are only rated at 1 volt. So, all must be wired in series or they burn out instantly.

Four glow plugs in the engine, and a fifth glow-indicator in the dashboard. All five units hooked in series.

As an option, you can wire in parallal and use fast-heat, high voltage glow-plugs now sold to improve starting on old Mercedes 190D cars. Merecedes and IH tractors use the same plugs.
 
Thanks for the page to download. The B414 was a 12 Volt positive and this has been changed to negative with an alternator. Can I rewire glow plugs for this?

Thanks again, Don from Canada

I did mine (same principal but the German version) with the fast heat (mercedes) GP's. I took the easy way and used stuff I already had laying around. I just used a horn button I had and ran a wire from the pos battery post to the button and from the button to a splitter that let me run a seperate wire to each GP. Took about 30 minutes and I run the GP's 5-10 seconds (max 15) when temps are below freezing. About 5 any other time.
