No Glow plug light?

[Doug_D]

Hey all.
For some reason, my glow plug light does not come on very often. Anyone else have get this? My old Kubota mower F2580 stays on for a few seconds and then goes off and then I can start the mower. In my tractor, if I hold the switch to the glow plug point, I usually don't get a light. Even when it's really cold out, no light. However, every now and then I get a light. Just weird. Think there is a problem with the light? Or is this normal operation on the newer tractors?

Tractor is a little 2007/7040 with 150 hours on it. I've only owned it for a few hours.

Thanks,
Doug

Sounds like the light has a loose connection. I don't know about the 7040 but the MX5000 light comes on and stays on for as long as you hold the key to the position for the glow plug.
