Good deal. I was a mechanic in the Army. Always wondered why the hummers and the Chevy blazers/pickups had glow plugs, the 2 1/2 tons had nothing and the 5 tons had an ether canister. Used the gas rag on the hummers and chevy's because the motor sergeant said that once you used ether, you'd have to use it all the time.
The system on my tractor is real simple. One wire goes from the switch to a plug and the rest are connected by a heavy copper rod.
The glowplugs cost about $130 each for origanals, but someone got smart and made adapters that will take normal bosch glowplugs ($15 each) that requires a little tougher wiring. Someone before my time put them in with the old wiring and just done some modifying in the switch area. I've got enough stuff together to fix it now, so ether will be used for it's secondary use (inflating tubeless tires). Thanks for all the input.
