I have an older tractors where the manufacturer charges an *obscene* amount of money for the glow plug. And, unfortunatly, I haven't been able to find an after market match. So, here's my thought, find a more standard Bosch glow plug available at NAPA, and then get threaded reducer so that this smaller plug can fit in the larger hole.
Does anybody see any potential issues with doing that? If not, what type threaded reducer material would be appropriate for that part of the engine? Stainless steel? Brass?
I don't even want to think about the damage I'm doing to it every time I use starter fluid to get it going.
Thanks in advance,
