Somehow the remaining key for this beast disappeared last week, probably somewhere under the snow, and I'll find it in the spring.
Just to confirm a few things that seem logical.
First, you don't need the ignition turned on to start or run it. No electrical items, but likely the battery will not charge.
Second, with a quick look, the lead from the ignition switch to the glow plug indicator was obvious, so I could get the plugs glowing by patching the hot lead to the ignition switch side of the glow plug indicator.
Third, with a ohm meter I found the solenoid lead to crank the starter.
Fourth, I understand that there are a very limited number of keys for the older tractors - a set of 5 or so will let you start any of them. Do the grey market ones use the same keys?
Thanks
Stuart
