Besides CNH, any automotive store that sells AC or Champion spark plugs can get those glow plugs.

A guy had 4 new AC 26G's on ebay the other day, for $49,95, and nobody bid. That was a good deal, I should have bid!

(Auction # 150043990484, if you care to look it up.)

The glow plugs should have .9 Ohms resistance between the 2 connections, and INFINITE resistance from the terminals to the shell that screws into the engine.

jdemaris, who posts on several of these boards, posted a while back that he has made adapters to put modern glow plugs in place of these.

These GP's have an 18MM thread, the newer-style units for automotive use are, I believe, 8MM or 10MM.

I am considering doing that, and installing a controller, so preheating is automatic, when the key is turned on for a few seconds.
