Fordson Power Major heater plug

Hi guys. We are new to this forum but having just bought an old Fordson Power Major that needs a lot of work, I thought it prudent to join.
First real issue we have, diesel feed is OK, and air is OK but how does the Power major ignite the diesel?
I have read about a common heater plug, but where is it!
The inlet manifold has a butterfly valve, presumably throttle, but no sign of heater plug.
Please can someone help?
 
A Major is direct injection and does not need a heater plug. They are one of
the best starting tractors ever built and if the engine turns over twice
without starting, it will be strange. Even when totally worn out.

In an extreme climate a block heater would be an asset though.

On the pivot of the stop cable on the injection pump there should be a small
button to push in if you need a little boost when the temperature drops.
 
Majorman is right. I have started Majors, with stuck clutch discs, and it takes less than two revolutions for them to fire, when everything
is right.
