Hi, see attached photo of my brother's CIH 495 with 3 cyl German D-179, it has the Thermostart Option instead of the ether injection, in the photo see the glow plug in the intake manifold just above the back of the alternator. The black fuel line that is connected to the glow plug goes to the return fuel line and the red wire is connected to the ignition switch. The ignition switch has an position between ON and Start that you hold it for 30 seconds that energizes the glow plug and when the glow plug gets hot it starts burning fuel from the return line in the intake manifold. This glow plug works good down to about -10F but colder than that he uses the 1500 watt recirculating tank heater that is in the photo. My brother has 5 of the IH German Diesels including an IH 684 with D-239 like your 574 and he has put 1500 watt tank heaters in then all, plug then in for 30 minutes and use the cold start position like Dieseltech said and they are good to go. The only problem with the glow plug is the elements appear to crack over summer with the engine vibration and then the first time you need to use it in the winter it dose not work. I try to suggest to my brother to remove the good one in the spring and install an old one but that never happens.

The discussion started out with the following post: "I have an aluminum steering gear housing with a bolt broken off in it. The bolt is about a 3/8" x 1 1/2" bolt. I've already drilled the center of the bolt out with about 7/64" drill bit the entire length of the bolt. Only one end of the bolt is visible. I tried to use an easy out but it wasn't budging and I didn't want t
