Could someone please post a photo of the location of the Glow Plugs on the L3710 engine? My .pdf manual photo is poor quality and really difficult to see clearly.
Thanks so much!!
Thanks so much!!
The most common cause is like that of Orion sea spray - bad connections, one very likely being the negative conductor from battery to frame.The Main Ignition Switch was bad. Removed and replaced after testing it and finding it shorted internally.
...and the symptom did not change.
There's a short somewhere because if I leave the battery connected overnight it will be run down.
Thx to all for the good advice! How frequent is a starting problem due to a bad glow plug? Or put another way; what is the most common cause of the tractor's starter failing to engage?
Thx for the very valuable info. Knowing about the heat sink function of the engine itself has saved me a lot of possible misery and $$$.Test the glow plugs by measuring each GP's resistance to ground.
Do NOT remove and apply 12 volts to see if they heat up. They are designed to have the head acting as a heat sink moderating the temp rise.
On many newer tractors the GP ON and ON Time is out of your control being set by an engine temp sensor.
