that sounds good. though you might want to consider the relay will not take much amps to activate use the lead that goes to the glow plugs to go to the hot side of the button switch, then go to the relay.that way when the key switch is off, the power is off to the glow plug switch .I prefer to keep to a minium stuff that is hot all the time. just a thought
I think that either would work as long as you can get compression between the 2 surfaces but the flat rubber seal would be my first choice.
in a pinch take a amp meter like you would have in the dash and place #10 stranded wire with some gator clips on it most of them are 30 amp .I keep one loose to check for load on dc stuff. something makes me think that the glow plugs are ok,your meter just can not see the resistance in them. I would concentrate on the wiring.alot of it on theses tractors are undersized to the things that pull some amps. I had a issue to the starter added a relay and my starting issues were gone.that might be your best choice even if a temp. one to see what it does,I have seen that it is better on the keyswitch life not running the amps thru it also.
a infinite reading will not pop a fuse but it will not heat either if you have infinite readings on the glow plugs and are still poping fuses you have more than on issue.if the golw plugs are reading close to 0 ohms they are internally shorted and that will pop a fuse.I seem to think that good glow plugs are less that 20 ohms so there is not a big window.
you might want to look for a glow plug with no resistance as 0 ohms, or close.connect the ones that have some resistance and try heating them if the fuse does ok you have found the bad one.this will be easier with a digital meter when reading them.
on my 2006 foton ft504a even after I replaced the voltage reg. the light flashes,until I place some load on the electrical system,I thought that something was going on so I placed a volt meter in the dash.you can see the meter pulse with the light at close to 14.8 volts,I guess all is well have orginal battery and it is always hot.I did not trust the idiot light oil pressure either placed a mechanical gauge.
I have used rectorseal #5 for years once you look at the can and what it can be used for .there is so many aproved uses,it is good stuff.
we had a family reunion and I saw my cousin who is a large animal vet so I asked him about time the butcher sows and he seems to think that the time in heat thing is a old tale,the cold weather time is best for chilling off the meat,and the less bugs you have bothering you.he shoots them year round in fla.you just gotta work fast and have a lot of ice.
