Mahindra 4530
Bought a 4530 and had it delivered recently... Dealer did not have manual for the tractor at the time of delivery, 2 weeks after purchase... I'm not sure which light is the "glow plug" light.... I just wait for all the instrument lights to turn off before starting it... Please help!!

Thanks everyone!!

On mine it is a little red light ---it is either just above or below the key----I can't remember but I know it is by the key.

My Mahindra 2615 has a yellow light. When its on it looks like a light bulb.

My light is red w/wire element symbol. Does your ignition switch turn counterclockwise with a spring return like when starting ? Try it and see if your light comes on then, that's the way mine works. This engages the glow timer and relay and the light will stay on however long your timer is designed for. It also comes on when I have the key in the actual starting mode (starter engaged and turning engine over) but goes out as soon as I release the switch when the engine starts.

No luck.... There is a light next to my key, but it takes over 30 seconds for it to turn off... I remember the dealer telling me it was a emmission light...??? Here is a picture of it.... I don't see any yellow lights or anything that looks like a light bulb symbol...

Unless things have changed drastically, you don't have a "glow plug", but rather a manifold air heater...your engine should be "direct inject". Just turn your key to the on position for about 5 seconds, then hit the start. My 6000 will fire up in any weather/temp within 2/3 revolutions...if the battery has enough juice to roll it over..(my original battery lasted 7 years-its a '02). Good luck with your tractor.

Thanks for the picture, now I can help you . The indicator light right above the key switch is the intake heater idicator.

Yep that's it. Like every one said you do not have glow plugs, it is an intake heater. It is designed to go on when the key is turned. It's is also designed to go off after 30 seconds. Cold weather turn key wait 5 to 10 seconds then start. Coooooooooooooooooooooooolder weather (actually if it is this cold you might want to think about a block heater too) wait the full 30 seconds. Sometimes when it is reallly cold after it doesn't start on the first try turn the key off and then back on this will reset the timer.
