Alvie... Ihad the same problem with my 89 kabota. Turned out to be a
burnt pin in the cannon plug from the control box. The teck that
fixed mine bypassed the plug with two wires, one of which supplied
voltage to the glow plugs while cranking.I had prob for two years
before I got it fixed. Stars right up now.While cranking check
voltageon plugs....

hope this does it
