1512 Glo-Plug Indicator Light
Guys, I wonder, if there's a way to make a light to make it easier for me to see, when starting the 1512 using the glo-plugs? I can't see the wire that lights up very well.

That "glow-light" is just a fake timer for you,,
wire in a regular bulb, then start counting,, 1, 2, 3, 4, etc,,,, Counting will do the same thing as waiting for the wire to glow,, You might have to count a little higher when it is real cold outside,,, I have two diesels with some sort of heater, and I have never used either,, both start like gasoline engines, crank the starter and they run,, even at Virginia sub-freezing temps,,, (Virginia sub-freezing temps are seldom below 30 degrees,,, LOL!!) Do you really need the glow plugs to start? |

Thanks Cad, I don't need them to start it now, but I'm sure I will this Winter.

Allen, there are a couple options you can install for the glow plug indicator. Wiring in a bulb as suggested is a good solution. I will send you a PM with my phone number and I can explain the current glow plug indicator, it's wiring, and what the best way to install a small light would be. I used a small amber LED on mine. It's bright enough to see in the sunshine. Your indicator you have now is nothing more than a wire that begins to glow dull red then brighter and brighter turning more yellow the longer you hold the switch in the glow position. Yes, it's hard to see and why, among other things, that many of us have changed the wiring and installed a bulb or LED.

A/C, that is pretty involved to change the indicator. You could just put an LED wired to one of the GP's but they don't get 12 volts and a light isn't really needed. There should be a decal up under the hood that tells you how long to heat them so just do that when you start it.

Thanks Todd, that's what I figured. I know how long to heat them, was just curious about the wire lighting up. I've had my nose in the manual.

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.
