Ron:
 Somewhere in my past, I think I remember hearing that the B-series tractors 
had the glow plugs wired in series.  Also, I believe that these tractors 
have a coil of resistance wire behind a screen that is mounted on the 
instrument panel.  This serves two purposes.  First it serves to drop the 
battery voltage another eight volts or so ((4 x 0.9) + 8) = 11.6V.  Second, 
it is used as an indicator to show that the plugs are working.  I may be 
wrong on some of this, but the fellows over at the Yahoo IH B-series group 
can probably set you straight.  I've always liked the looks of those little 
tractors, they look to be handy and beefy for their size.  Let us know how 
it works out.
