I have an update now. I did more checking and when the tractor is running if I wiggle the connector going into the controller the glow plug light will come on and go off randomly. Also, if I turn the key to right to glow the plugs and wiggle the connecton I hear a click coming from the controller randomly. It seems that I may have a bad connection in the connector that snaps into the controller. Nothing looks bad in the individual connections. I did manage to get a few of the individual plugs to come out but I can't get them all out to squeeze tighter. I also wiggled the wires before connector and they seem fine.

I don't know for sure how to check the glow plugs. I did pull them out and set digital volt meter to ohms. I then place one end of volt meter on top of glow plug and other and other end on the electrode and I got no reading when set to ohms. Is this the correct way to check my glow plugs? It appears to be no resistance so I think they are burnt out? Can someone please give me some advice?

I asked the dealer where I purchased this tractor for help with this problem. This is where I buy all my filters, oil and parts and they were short and rude to me for asking for advice on trouble shooting my glow plug system?? I feel offended by their actions. I was good to the dealer and gave them plenty of business. I am willing to purchase the parts from the dealer if I can figure out what to buy. Seem if they can't collect a labor fee they don't want anything to do with me.

I sure hope to get some help here, thanks everyone!

I have the 7265 Cub with the 26 HP Mitsubishi engine. Back when my tractor was new I had issues with the glow plugs burning out. I had to have my glow plugs replaced twice. I was told by the dealer that there were some defective glow plugs. Also, if my memory serves me correctly read on here that some of the glow plugs were defective. I haven't had this problem for for a awhile so I guess they installed some good ones.

Art, thanks for the reply and the insight into the over priced roll bar pin. I just hope others are not caught in a similar situation with something more pricey.

I now have 700 hrs. on this tractor and have worked her plenty hard at times. All fluids have been changed on time and I have had next to no problems with her. I just hope other parts (any insight would be appreciated) for this tractor don't put me in this situation again. If so I may consider going green in around a 30 HP model.
