[AT] Old Spark plug / Glow Plug help needed

[charliehill]

Chris,  If no one here can help go over to WWW.Allischalmers.com.  Go to the 
forum and post the question under the farm tractors section.  If there is 
one available in the country most likely those guys know where it is.  I 
think they are still available but I'm not sure.

You are correct.  I believe it just pre-heats the air in the manifold.  I 
think AC continued to use those in the 100 series tractors and maybe beyond 
that.

Charlie
