NEED HELP PLEASE --
I recently purchased an International 244 Diesel Tractor. The Glow Plug System is not working and will not start without starting fluid.
I purchased and installed new glow plugs and still cannot get the system to work. The wiring looks to have been Modified / Jimmy-Rigged) and so I am having great difficulty trying trace / verify the wiring.
Today when I was attempting to get the system working, I turned the key to the "Heat" position and the Resistor/Indicator immediately turned bright red and could smell some wires burning. The Resistor/Indicator wire burned in two. The Glow Plugs appear to still be ok. The Glow Plugs appear to be 10.5 Volts.
Does anyone know if I can by-pass the Factory Glow Plug System using the Key Switch...and Use some type of a Push Button type setup? I have read about some people have replaced the Glow Plugs with 12 Volt plugs and using a Push Button wired direct from battery. (BATTERY -to- BUTTON -to- GLOW PLUGS)
The wiring on the tractor seems to have been Modified / Jimmy Rigged making it very difficult for me to trace/follow.

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
