I kept searching online for the magic bullet to no avail but only found where others had the same issue and never finding a sure fire solution. Apparently many older models like my L2050DT enjoy having atleast one glow plug that is so close and recessed beside the intake manifold and behind a fuel line connection that you really have a fight on your hands to change it out. Just to give credit to Sean (North Idaho Wolfman) for suggesting heat to the fuel line connection that I was having difficulty in separating. That did the trick!
No flame; I used an iron to heat it up and a scissor type squeeze with a 19mm wrench on bottom and a 17mm wrench on top
eek And all I wanted to do was move my tractor over a foot or two and hook up a new (to me) bucket.
At any rate I never imagined the trouble getting the old plugs out and the new one's in would be. Also discovered a broken switch in the process and was able to find a new one at the local O'Reilly's that worked. As soon as I fixed the switch "heat waves" appeared at the end of the exhaust and a mere bump of the key fired it right up! It hasn't started up that nice since I got it.
I'm keeping my eye out for a deep, thin wall 3/8 drive 12mm socket too.
