OK guys, thanks for all the responses. I unbolted the hood (engine cover) and there are glow plugs right on top of the head, hidden from view (except from the top) by the injector assemblies. Those who said there were are right. There is no provision I can find for turning on glow plugs. Not the key switch, no extra button. No indicator light. If I turn the key to the ON position there is a faint clicking, which I think is the hour meter. There is a solonoid on the throttle control at the injector pump, that I am not sure of function. It is triggered only when key is in the START position. Have to figure out just what it's function is. Doesn't seem likely it would run the glow plugs while cranking. Will have to get the DVM out and see what does trigger the glow plugs (if anything). If I can't find anything, I'm in favor of a push button, and indicator light. (Like I did with my 6.2 diesel truck when the controller crapped the second time (at $180 a copy)).
Also found some tiny freeze plugs about 3/4 inch in diameter. Local NAPA dealer found a block heater (30mm) that according to heater mfr will fit. Have one on order thru NAPA. Warning - they Ain't cheap! Not looking forward to pulling the freeze plug out - that could be a job. Have had fights with them before, and they were a lot bigger. (One of my cars went to the great smelter in the sky with a freeze plug lodged somewhere in the cooling jacket.)
Woods 6215, if you followed the link is a 4 wheel stand alone machine. Mower deck is a separate front mounted assembly with it's own wheels. They make a snow blower, front blade, and I think, a rotary brush for it. I have snow blower, as well as a cab, so it might be a viable backup snow machine. Thinking I may need chains, but we'll see.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
