Thanks Brett.  
That makes complete sense of the weird wiring between the glow plugs. 
There is no wire to the first glow plug, and the last one goes to ground.
 I freed up the switch to energize the plugs, now to check them again.  I
think two are shot.  I will tear into the dash to see what is missing
there.
I have been working on the brakes trying to make enough friction to stop
the beast.   Everything is polished smooth as a baby's butt.
