Kix....

I think your on the right track, but your issue maybe much deeper. I copied the following from an article on winter versus summer diesel. I had this happen to me the year I took my tractor from Florida to Georgia. I tried to start my cub with temperatures in the 20's and it was a no go. I emptied the fuel and purchased diesel fuel at the local station and fixed my issue. Good luck

"As the seasons change, it is a good idea to check the fuel grade, as well as the cetane rating on the pump. The higher the cetane number, the easier the diesel vehicle will start in cold weather.
Winter or Winterized fuel and anti-gel additives are an important part of your winterization. Add them to the tank whenever you fill up to ensure the smooth flow of fuel and better vehicle performance during the cold season. Check your owner�s manual for specific additive guidelines and always follow mixing to the letter or risk fuel system damage.
Note: There is a difference between �winter diesel� and �winterized diesel.� Fuel stations in cold areas in the northern U.S. offer two kinds of winter diesel fuel. Number 2 diesel is mixed with number 1 kerosene in the gas station to make winter blend. Number 2 diesel treated with additives by the supplier is known as winterized diesel. Most fuel stations offer winterized diesel instead of winter diesel because it can be less expensive to make. However, some offer both kinds to let consumers decide for themselves."

Just prior to the glow plugs not working, the alternator lamp would flicker and sometime it would stay on a minute or two. That has not happened since the glow plugs quite working. The glow lamp does work, because it come on when I move the ignition switch to the start position. Everything else works fine. I appreciate the information. I will start at the battery , go to the starter and work back to the dash, checking the fuses and connections as I go. The service manual I have has two wire diagrams and both are absent of the info you gave me. I will try to find a parts manual and get the diagram from there. Again, Thank you.
