Ron:

That's progress.  These are glow plugs not igniters. Correct?  There is a
big difference. 

Check everything out with a good ohm meter before you install the 3rd Glow
plug.

Thanks Dean.  I checked the connections again today for the third or
fourth time and noticed one of the connector wires was contacting both
sections of the ignitor.  I bent them for clearance and made more
clearance on all connections.  I will buy one more ignitor tomorrow and
see if it will work.  At $16.15 each it starts to add up.
I want to thank everyone again for all their help.
Here is a picture of the setup on another tractor.
