NEED HELP PLEASE --
I recently purchased an International 244 Diesel Tractor. The Glow Plug System is not working and will not start without starting fluid.
I purchased and installed new glow plugs and still cannot get the system to work. The wiring looks to have been Modified / Jimmy-Rigged) and so I am having great difficulty trying trace / verify the wiring.
Today when I was attempting to get the system working, I turned the key to the "Heat" position and the Resistor/Indicator immediately turned bright red and could smell some wires burning. The Resistor/Indicator wire burned in two. The Glow Plugs appear to still be ok. The Glow Plugs appear to be 10.5 Volts.
Does anyone know if I can by-pass the Factory Glow Plug System using the Key Switch...and Use some type of a Push Button type setup? I have read about some people have replaced the Glow Plugs with 12 Volt plugs and using a Push Button wired direct from battery. (BATTERY -to- BUTTON -to- GLOW PLUGS)
The wiring on the tractor seems to have been Modified / Jimmy Rigged making it very difficult for me to trace/follow.
