iseki 1910 glow plug broke off

[rjhans53]

If this is a double post please forgive me, I did this awhile back but it didn't seem to catch. I was changing out my glow plugs and the darn thing broke off flush with the block, has anyone else done this, if so how did you fix it. The tractor starts on the 1 plug but it's a long process
Thanks
Ron

Can you take a picture of what the cross section of the glow plug that is in the head?

Nope got it out, basically drove a cheap screw driver all the way threw and put a cresent wrench on the end of the screw driver shaft and it came out pretty easy at that point

Just a word from experience. Compare the new glow plug to the old one and make sure that your "removal method" did not cause a chunk of the old glow plug to fall into the cylinder. It could cause major problems with valves when the piston comes up.

suntree, thanks for the advise, but no the nose (for lack of better terms) was still attached
