CT225 Preheat light

[powergod]

Ok, I know what the glow plug light is for, once it goes out I start the tractor but then it comes back on for 30sec to 60 sec after the tractor is running. What is the reason for the second light? I know my dodge has an intake heater, but for the life of me cant figure out what the tractor has the second illumination of the warning light for? what am i missing?

My CT450 does the same thing, my 440 never did it. As a matter of fact my 450 starts very very rough, when cold if I wait for the light to go out say 8-10 secs it will start spit sputter white smoke and sometimes stall. If I preheat manually for 20 secs or more its starts better but still chugs some. I found this morning if I crack the throttle some say 1500 rpm or so it will start chug just a little and the run fine I dont know why this 450 is so rough starting compared to the 440 I had for 100 hrs.
