One must keep in mind here that glow plugs have a sorta time limit on them as to how long they should be on and if they excide that time limit they will burn out . I fought this problem on my one friends New Holland skid steer . When he bought it it was hard starting and found that two of the four glow plugs were toast , so off to the New Holland dealer to get the correct glow plug and for the small price of like 37 bucks a piece we installed all four NEW . These glow plugs cycle according to out side temp , so when you turn on the key it senses the temp and the glow plugs will stay on longer on a cold day up to 14 seconds and when you hear the CLICK then you start . Well He has two LX 665's BUT they do not both have the same engine . The older one is the best one and has given the least problems and i have never changed the glow plugs on that one . The newer one i can not count the times i have changed them . and when they go out it is always on a day well below 0 . Well after freezing my fingers one tomany times to get it up and running so the cows could be fed i started looking into WHY , we were using factory OEM parts but they kept burning out . There has got to be a place to get them for less money , so i started looking and the one ORiles that i deal with has one guy that will actually go digging to find you what you need and also get ahold of the company that supplys the part to figure out the problem . The glow Plug in question were made by Boush (sp) and he called the tech dept . and put me on the phone with a tech guy and he enlightened me . He told me that the glow plug part # that New holland was usen had a BURN TIME LIMIT of OH guess what 12 seconds ON TIME BUT the timer was Burning them 14 seconds. and they were of a like 7.4volt ( don't hold me to this for the gospel ) and that they should turn red in like 6 seconds . Well i spent about and hour talking to him and he came up with a glow plug # that would fit and it had a 19 second Burn limit and would turn HOT Or red in like 7 seconds . So when asked HOW MUCH he tells me that my cost would be and i was waiting to hit the floor and look for my inhailer and take two nitro pills and he said 7.48 EACH NOT 37.48 but 7 . 48 So that meant that we were able to keep 120 bucks in our pocket rather New Holland's pocket . I said send me eight . I had them the next day and installed four and put four on the shelf . I have not had to replace one yet and that was three years ago . Just like on the POWER STROKE they run basically a 6 volt glow plug on a 12 volt system on a timer for fast heat up and the timer to take out the IDIOT holding the button . Where on a glow plugged tractor engine you are the timer on cycle timer and those glow plugs are of 12 volt . I stat looking at the cold cranking amps of the battery-s , condition of the starter ( is it turning the engine fast enough , Is the injection pump timing where it should be , Are all the glow plugs working , When was the last time the valves were adjusted . Once all that has been checked then we go deeper How are the injector cracking , what is the cranking pressure of the injection pump , what is the compression of the engine . When a D236-301 is working good they work well to a point till it gets cold then they can be temperamental . So just layen blame on the glow plugs might be part of the problem but there is more to it then just glow plugs . Then one must keep in mind that there is no two engines ever the same . As to why on your problem ????? as i can not do a hands on all i can do is throw some idea's and past experiences .

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
