One time i had #4 glow plug burn out so I moved the wire and used the front 3 until I got it changed, the 3 worked fine, you had to keep in mind that they heated up faster, but it worked without an issue. Its been my experience that the "pepper pot" dash indicator assembly only lasts 40 or 50 years so I connected that element with 2 brass clamp centered Marettes and mount that in the gap below the steering column, lasted 20 years so far, I have a few of these tractors.
Hi Jordan, thank you for the video. We have just dug our 1960 TD5 out of the bush. We have it turning over now. Going to pull the instrument panel off tomorrow and put it on the bench to get it all up to snuff. My question is in regards to the glow plugs; why does it make a difference what direction the current goes through the plug? Top of four, bottom of three, top of two, bottom of one, grounding from the top of one? or is this just convenience for wire routing? Next question if I may? When we go to fire it up, do I hold the glow plug switch in for twelve seconds and crank with it still in? Enjoying your work, thank you again! D'Arcy
With the series glow plugs the current must travel from one contact to another with a single path to ground. it Doesn’t matter if you start with the power going to the top or bottom just make sure to use the isolators and continue . Keep the connections clean and tight . You can keep the glow plugs powered while cranking. Just make sure you don’t use starting fluid and glow plugs together . Good luck with the TD5
Good info Im always trying to explain this to customers, In just doing research for my own video on the subject, my mate Dave from Canadian Redneck has a vid from 2015 as well.
Thanks for a great video! The glow plug resistor you have in the video is the same one i have in my IH B250, do you know where i could buy one? I have tried googling, but can only find the newer style with the porcelain body. would be very greatful for any advice you could offer. Thanks in advance.
i just put 4 new g plugs in my 444 when i went to heat them the resistor instantly turned red and it burned out it normally takes 20 or more seconds to heat up it did not do this with the old ones . any ideas ? Thanks .
Sounds like a short to ground . Check your wiring and insulators and glow plugs with a multi meter . Maybe you installed the wrong style glow plugs if you installed newer style glow plugs they would definitely short out . Good luck!
I need to rewire the glow plugs on my International b414, the insulation within the glow plug indicator/resistor deteriorated and grounded the element to the base. I used some Bakelite from an old household switch cover to make new insulators. I had read on other forums, the new glow plug indicator that is for sale online has a different resistance than the original. Can you please tell me how many amps the original system draws as well as the resistance including the resistor and four glow plugs? I want to install a fuse so if anything goes wrong I won't melt the wiring harness again. Thanks.
Total current should be 40 amps . I am running a 50 amp fuse on my tractor . The glow plugs are rated at .9 volts they should measure about .25 or 1/4 ohm . The resistor should measure approximately the same at .25 ohms . I see lots or resistors available online for B414 or B275 tractors so buying one should no be an issue . Hope you find this helpful
No sandblasting just brake clean and wire brush for prep and used Komatsu natural yellow spray paint, if you are looking for high quality spray paint try your local equipment dealers ie Komatsu John Deere or cat they all have excellent spray cans
Thank you, you mentioned it in a slow pace which is perfect.

they are available online . Search for IHC B275 tractor glow plug resistor I’m fairly sure they are interchangeable
Try. www.ebay.ca/itm/334290336861
YOU SAVED MY ASS WITH THIS!!! THANK YOU 🙏 🙏
That’s why I made this video. Glad you found it helpful hopefully your tractor is starting good again

@@Gears_N_Grease Thank you, that's exactly what I was looking for.
Did you sandblast ??? What type of paint do you use??
No sandblasting just brake clean and wire brush for prep and used Komatsu natural yellow spray paint, if you are looking for high quality spray paint try your local equipment dealers ie Komatsu John Deere or cat they all have excellent spray cans
I want this Heater flow lamps
How much cost & where it is Available ?
