Hi Hugh and good morning!
Last night I looked through my manuals and got the "uh-oh-I'm-wrong-I-think" feeling with those glow plugs. I got a flashlight and went out to the baby and followed that toggle switch and lo and behold, it is hooked to an intake manifild air heater.
I looked back in my manuals...looking for glow plugs and couldn't find them. They call the means of combustion "energy cells". These aren't glow plugs, are they? These are actual cells and I thought glow plugs were long skinny things that just heat up. I recalled then, talking to someone in here about glow plugs because they said I had them and I said I didn't.
I also argued with my step son about it last summer. I forgot who won!
Since I have a button switch already bought and the wiring here,I'm going to replace that wire to the manifold heater and switch, today. I hesitated on that one because I'm not sure if the button is heavy duty enough.
The battery is 700 or 750 crank,if I recall. I know the cables were 1g for the ground and 2g for the positive, since I couldn't find the heavier gauge for the pos. You're right about needing more battery, but where on earth would I put it? I wish I had known about the cranking demands when I bought the first battery, as I would have bought two then. The manual shows the battery sorta under the seat. Mine is on a tray to the left side, probably welded there by someone. I hope I haven't ruined a new battery and have to buy two.
I'm wondering about a marine battery. There are some hugew ones out there. Not sure if they would be 6 or 12v. Used to live on a 42ft Chris Craft that had 2 huge chryselor inboard engines and they were huge and so were the batteries at about 3 ft long and 2 ft wide. Tom keeps saying it's the starter. I know that there is more to it than just the starter. I have no way to pull it. I don't think his little chevy S10 would. It's also sitting in such a way that it would be hard to maneuver. It's really wet out there and we would just throw mud. There's a semi truck dealer about 5 miles from here...I wonder if they would be able to accomodate the battery situation. Something that's bugged me since I cleaned the thing up is that there's an extra wire coming off of the solenoid. I have NO idea what for. It's really clean on the end and stripped like it was ready to use for something. The first thing that comes to my mind is it was somehow used in jump starting that tractor. Otherwise, there is no use for it, I don't think. It comes off of the same connection of the solenoid that goes to the pos on the battery and to the charge indicator. I'm waiting for it to get light out so I can get out there and look at things a little better.
I'll keep checking back to see what I can find here. Will give me an excuse to come in and sit down. Is it snowing there? They're forcasting 8-12 inches in the next day or two coming from the north. talk soon,
Diana

A City Guy's First Tractor - by Fred Hambrecht. After living in apartments in Atlanta for more years than I care to remember, the wife and I decided to move to the country. Humming "Green Acres is the place for me..." we purchased a 29 acre tract about 60 miles south of Atlanta. Next came the house, I could talk about that ordeal for another two weeks... But, I want to talk about my tractor! We didn't even own a lawnmower, and all of a sudden we had enough grass to feed all the starving children of the bovine world. Naturally, I talked
