Question 882 glow light indicator
I am some what dumb founded with my little diesel... I can not get the glow light to come on when I try to start it. I cycle it 60 seconds several times.
I have found that when I first bought the tractor it would come on ... very dimly... now 4 years later no light. I found that if I have my block heater on for a hour I can start the tractor even though the glow isn't lit. I can not start the tractor cold at 50 degree outside temperature. I have changed out the 4 glow plugs with new ones and change the light indicator with a new one too.. Puzzled?! Any Ideas?
opps.... forgot I am not a good diesel mechanic soooooo....

For this problem, you need to be an electrical guy, not a diesel mechanic. Time to dig out a test light and a DVOM and find out where you do not have power.

The engine only has 3 glow plugs..... I don't know where you installed a fourth one at.

Lightbulb glow light indicator
I tried to put the fourth plug under my cap... but did not connect any wires leading to the big computer! Any ways where would find the glo plug relay? ....a Kubota dealership possibly? I will check out the electrical part.... this week.

The original set up on these diesels didn't use a relay. The glow plug system ran through the key. A very poor design. It puts too much load on the switch (not a cheap replacement) and tended to burn it up. I suggest re-wiring it so that it uses a relay. Here check out this thread, I gave a descriptive answer to wiring up a relay in it. Better than re-typing it all. (Post #8)

Would it not be easier to replace the ignition switch than rewire it? I am sure you are right on the relay switch....

Your tractor, you can do it however you want. I'd install a relay.

Funny you ask that! I just got off the phone with R Bedell, and he is going to try and get a diagram drawn up and uploaded to the site for that modification soon!

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
