The glow plug circuit works like it should now. Next step will be to change fuel filter and bleed any air from the fuel system, grease the...

    Glow plug indicator light on

    Reckon I'll be buying a new module. Removed the electronics from the casing of suspected bad one only to realize that the circuitry is a computer chip, resistors, and transistors on a circuit board.

    Thank y'all for the warm welcome. I'm looking forward to getting the tractor up and running. We can certainly put it to use around the homestead!!! Thanks for the tip. I did locate serial # plate and referenced the web site. It appears to be a 1988 model.

    Hello from the Heart of Dixie

    Thanks for the warm welcoming. To answer the question about "Where in the Heart of Dixie?" I live in Alabama. I see some have on their profile where they're from and such. I'm still trying to figure it out how to include such information to share with others.

What I was told is: it needs a battery (currently has no battery at all), the fuel...
