I have a 1989 Ford 1720 2WD with loader. Other than replacing the solenoid in 2013 I have had no issues with the tractor for years. I tried to start it a couple of weeks ago and it would only crank but not fire. The battery is strong (although getting weaker with all my cranking). I put fresh diesel in this year and the tank is full but it just won't fire after cranking for what seemed like 20 minutes. The glow plugs have not been replaced (since I've had it) and I noticed the indicator lights say they are not working (I turn the key counterclockwise and a light on the panel used to light up but does not now). I think its likely that I need 3 new glow plugs and it would help starting. Does anyone else out there have any other ideas?
